hi Matt,

Thanks for that. I think that is a useful change, even though it doesn't actually fix my problem (i.e. my code still gets an error). I think now that although the error message I'm getting is similar to the one that used to result from just a simple repeated stratification, the underlying cause is different.

Looking more closely at the error message, it is saying that the depth 2 stratum overlaps the depth 1 stratum, e.g.:

[0]PETSC ERROR: New depth 2 range [0,141) overlaps with depth 1 range [0,141)

That suggested to me that some of the strata in the re-distributed DMPlex are not contiguous. I checked that by looking at the cone and support sizes of the DMPlex points inside DMPlexStratify_Topological_Private(). On one of the processes they looked like this:

p: 0, cone: 7, support: 0
p: 1, cone: 7, support: 0
p: 2, cone: 7, support: 0
p: 3, cone: 6, support: 0
p: 4, cone: 6, support: 0
p: 5, cone: 6, support: 0
p: 6, cone: 2, support: 0
p: 7, cone: 1, support: 0
p: 8, cone: 0, support: 1
p: 9, cone: 0, support: 1
p: 10, cone: 1, support: 2
p: 11, cone: 1, support: 2
p: 12, cone: 1, support: 1
p: 13, cone: 1, support: 1
p: 14, cone: 2, support: 0
p: 15, cone: 2, support: 0
p: 16, cone: 1, support: 0
p: 17, cone: 1, support: 0
p: 18, cone: 0, support: 1
...

So here the cells (support 0) are not contiguous (and neither are the other strata) - some of the dual-porosity cells (14 - 17) are getting separated from the other cells (0 - 7). So I think that is messing up the identification of stratum bounds, because it's right, they do overlap.

Before redistribution, the strata are contiguous and non-overlapping. So I think the redistribution is causing the trouble.

When I first add the dual-porosity points to the DM I add them on the end of each stratum, after interior points and partition ghost points. That used to work, but perhaps something has changed so it doesn't any more? Are there any assumptions made about the order of storing interior points, partition ghost points and interior ghost points?

Another possibility might be that it's getting confused by the dual-porosity faces, edges, and nodes I'm adding which have unusual cone/support sizes (e.g. faces with a cone of one edge, which in turn have a cone of one node). Again this used to work ok but perhaps something has changed so that it doesn't?

2. I wrote a small program to load the mesh, and then restratify it. It is attached.

3. I ran stratification on this mesh, but I did not get an error:
