I have not found a way to find out if an HDF5 file has been created with the PAGE file space strategy without opening it first, checking the file space strategy, and then closing and re-opening if I want to enable the page buffer cache. It would be easier if the library does not throw an error when opening a file with the page buffer cache set even if the file is not created with the PAGE space strategy.

Below is the error reported by h5py when opening a non-PAGE HDF5 file with the page buffer cache set:

OSError: Unable to synchronously open file (Enabling Page Buffering requires PAGE file space strategy)

Ideally, the library should open the file without error and the user can later check whether the page buffer cache is available.

This API call sets the size of a file's page buffer cache. This call
was extremely strict about matching its parameters to the file strategy
and page size used to create the file, requiring a separate open of the
file to obtain these parameters.

These requirements have been relaxed when using the fapl to open
a previously-created file:

* When opening a file that does not use the H5F_FSPACE_STRATEGY_PAGE
  strategy, the setting is ignored and the file will be opened, but
  without a page buffer cache. This was previously an error.

* When opening a file that has a page size larger than the desired
  page buffer cache size, the page buffer cache size will be increased
  to the file's page size. This was previously an error.

The behavior when creating a file using H5Pset_page_buffer_size() is
unchanged.
