New issue 895: Can't load mass of stars from Gadget snapshots written to multiple files https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issue/895/cant-load-mass-of-stars-from-...

afitts:

I have this recurring problem when using snapshots written to multiple files with Gadget. I'm interested in following the total stellar mass at each time step. However when using multiple files i get the error: http://paste.yt-project.org/show/5107/ when trying to reference particular files. I redid my simulation writing to one file per snapshot and never had a problem referencing the mass of all the stellar particles. Attached you will find the snapshot written to one file (snapshot_025.hdf5) and one written to multiple files (in the snapdir_025).These are from the exact same simulation, the only difference being how many files the snapshots were distributed over. Both cases have been run a second time and the problem has still remained.
