Should be simple, the file-splitting facility has been in place for ages.

Resolution: fixed
Status: assignedclosed

Done in r6909.

The parameter is now called sample_split_n_kbytes (counting in kilobytes appears to be robust against exceeding 32bit integer).

The splitting is not entirely predictable due to possible de-synchronization between file writing (via Fortran or C, depending on the format) and INQUIREing file size from Fortran. The user should allow for some safety margin.
