Hello,
      I am a beginner user.  I meet a problem.  I have a very big matrix.  In 
shaping the matrix, every nodes produce some rows of it. So it is very easy to 
store it with files at every node.  In the solve Ax=b, I hope every node to 
read the file and construct the big matrix in parallel. Every file's is a sub 
matrix which is row block. So I use MatCreateMPIAIJWithArrays to Create the 
matrix.


For example: 
 -1     2       -1      0       0       0       0       0       0       0
0       -1      2       -1      0       0       0       0       0       0       
---------------------------------------------------------------
0       0       -1      2       -1      0       0       0       0       0
0       0       0       -1      0       0       0       0       0       0
--------------------------------------------------------------- 
0       0       0       0       -1      2       -1      0       0       0       
0       0       0       0       0       -1      2       -1      0       0       
---------------------------------------------------------------
0       0       0       0       0       0       -1      2       -1      0       
0       0       0       0       0       0       0       -1      2       -1      
---------------------------------------------------------------
0       0       0       0       0       0       0       0       -1      2       
0       0       0       0       0       0       0       0       0       -1      


Node 1    0-1 row block   
 Node 2   2-3 row block  
Node 3   4-5 row block
Node 4   6-7 row block
Node 5  8-9 row block


use 


MatCreateMPIAIJWithArrays(PETSC_COMM_SELF, 2, 10, 10,10, i,j,a); for node1
MatCreateMPIAIJWithArrays(PETSC_COMM_SELF, 2, 10, 10,10, i,j,a); for node2
MatCreateMPIAIJWithArrays(PETSC_COMM_SELF, 2, 10, 10,10, i,j,a); for node3
MatCreateMPIAIJWithArrays(PETSC_COMM_SELF, 2, 10, 10,10, i,j,a); for node4
MatCreateMPIAIJWithArrays(PETSC_COMM_SELF, 2, 10, 10,10, i,j,a); for node5


but there are error .   sum of cols of five nodes is not equal 10 (global 
column).


How to solve this problem,  Hope to get your help!


thanks
