🔄 Repack storage

warning

Currently, this command is exclusively available on Ubuntu systems.

When you frequently overwrite your storage file, the space previously occupied by the deleted dataset isn't immediately freed due to HDF5 technology's workings.

Repacking enables the creation of a new file containing your data but optimized for the smallest possible size.

🛠️ Procedure

Navigate to where your storage file is located.

Then run:

h5repack old_storage.h5 new_storage.h5
