Repack storage

warning

This command is only available on UNIX systems at the moment.

On Debian based distributions, install it with

sudo apt install hdf5-tools

When you overwrite a lot to your storage file, the space that was occupied by the deleted dataset is not immediately freed. This is due to how the HDF5 technology works.

Repacking allows you to create a new file with your data but with the smallest possible size.
