Summary0005778: exodus reader not silent in CanReadFile()
DescriptionTwo problems in vtkExodusIIReader::CanReadFile()

Open ParaViewData/Data/SPCTH/spcth.0
and I get
Warning: In /.../ParaView3/VTK/Hybrid/vtkExodusIIReader.cxx, line 5910
vtkPExodusIIReader (0x18152c0): Unable to close ".../ParaViewData/Data/SPCTH/spcth.0" opened for testing.

Create an empty file

It still asserts on an empty file.

Alan, this is not a bug in VTK's exodus reader but a bug in ex_open. Well, actually, it's a bug in the netcdf function that ex_open calls. There's nothing I could possibly do about it except call stat() on every file before opening it. But that would slow things down and is really just a hack. Either that check should be in ex_open or in ncio_spx_get. Could you file a bug with the Exodus or netcdf folks to fix the problem?

I am marking this closed.
* First issue seems to be fixed. Tested client/server.
* Second issue, as per Dave (notes below) is not in ParaView or VTK, and would create performance degradations attempting a work around.
