Hi, I have a matrix A with transpose A' and would like to solve the linear system A'*x = b using the pcredistribute preconditioner. It seemed like a good idea to use MatCreateTranspose, but this leads to

In principle the solution seems straightforward -- just add a getrow method -- but is it, and is it a good idea (performancewise etc)? Kind regards, Carl-Johan
