[petsc-dev] ML changing the number of levels

Hello,

I was wondering if it is already possible to set the number of levels with
the ML package. I tried -pc_mg_levels and PCMGSetLevels, both do not work.

I have an 8*10^6 Poisson matrix, and so far ML has given me the best
results. However, I think with increasing the gridsize, i should also
increase the number of multigrid levels. What are your thoughts?

Thanks,

Leo
