So i can do nest down to 10 km with CLM4.5. So I think that the problem i cannot do nsg=5 with CLM4.5

The problem is in the netcdf library netCDF3 format not being able to
handle BIG files. Read current netCDF3 limits on:

https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf/NetCDF-Classic-Format.html

I have switched the default format on all programs to the netCDF3 64-bit
offset file format:

https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf/64_002dbit-Offset-Format.html

It is NOT HDF5 format, but it should allow to fit BIG data in.
If you STILL have problems, consider using the NetCDF4 HDF5 Classic
format model

https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf/NetCDF_002d4-Classic-Model-Format.html

using the --enable-nc4 flag.

I have a new packaged SVN snapshot under:
