Hi Matt,
Doing things to the PC like this has worked for me for a long time. It just happened to be formerly KSPPREONLY/PCLU. Setting things like GMRES/PCNONE works as well with no errors, though it converges far too slowly.
The actual preconditioner I am trying to form is one from recent literature and uses a slightly modified Schur complement split embedded in another Schur complement split with multiple solves of the inner system and very specific choices for sub-preconditioners. I don't think command line options will work very well here.
I've since gone the way of just using PCSHELL and setting things up more explicitly. This seems to work, but i'm not quite sure how to set up boomeramg for one of the sub-problems.
boomeramg is used on the matrix A derived from: MatGetSubMatrix(J,is_x ,is_x ,MAT_INITIAL_MATRIX,&ctxp->A); The degrees of freedom for J are xxxyyyzzzpw, with the size of xxxyyyzzz around 20k, p around 1k, and w 8 for my 'small' test problem.
I can see that HYPRE_BoomerAMGSetNumFunctions takes its value from the matrix block size. This is 1 for J as it doesn't have a consistent block size. However, the number of functions for boomeramg should be 3. Changing the block size is not allowed by petsc, and there doesn't seem to be another way to reach HYPRE_BoomerAMGSetNumFunctions. What is the best way to handle this, and does it matter that the dofs are ordererd xxxyyyzzz rather than xyzxyzxyz ?
If you want to explicitly setup the near null space, I recommend using an agglomeration multigrid, which can take that in, like ML or GAMG, and using MatSetNearNullSpace(), which functions just like MatSetNullSpace(). Thanks, Matt
Thanks, Sander

The PC is from a SNESGetKSP, and I have called SNESSetJacobian before this.
If this is embedded in a SNES, it is very messy to yank it out and do thing manually. However, if you set the matrix in the PC manually, it might work.
However, I would encourage you to try an alternate scheme and see if you think it is easier. We have started to use the DM object to hold this kind of information. For FieldSplit, I think it is easier to tell a DMShell about your field division, and then have it pass this on to PCFIELDSPLIT. So you would
a) Create a DMSHELL
b) Create a PetscSection and call DMSetDefaultSection()
c) Call SNESSetDM()
d) use command line options to configure the split -pc_fieldsplit_0_fields 0 -pc_fieldsplit_1_fields 1
Then everything should work, and can work in any embedded context. Does this make sense?
Thanks,
Matt

ii here is simply an array with ii[i] = i. There is probably a better way to simply indicate two blocks of different size, but I couldn't find it.
It looks like the PC is not setup. Can you try calling PCSetUp(pc) before GetSubKSP()?
Thanks,
Matt
