If this is true, then you need to get its "local" form via <a href="http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Vec/VecGhostGetLocalForm.html#VecGhostGetLocalForm">VecGhostGetLocalForm</a>(). Once you have done, you should be able to access the ghosted nodes. Are you calling this function anywhere?</div>

Dear Mohammad,<br>
<br>
<br>
it doesn't help me, or I did not understand your explanation.<br>
<br>
If I do this:<br>
<br>
<tt> /* copy internal values (THIS WORKS, BUT COPIES NO BUFFER
VALUES) */<div class="im"><br>
for(Int i=0; i<n; i++) {<br>
Int gi = mesh.nodes[i].global_number;<br>
VecGetValues(x, 1, &gi, &unk[i]);<br>
}<br>
<br></div>
/* copy ghost values (CREATES MANY WARNINGS */<div class="im"><br>
for(Int i=n; i<N; i++) {<br></div>
VecGetValues(x, 1, &i, &unk[i]);<br>
}</tt><br>
<br>
I get arnings are like this.<br>
<br>
<tt><div class="im">[0]PETSC ERROR: --------------------- Error Message
------------------------------------<br>
[0]PETSC ERROR: Argument out of range!<br></div>
[0]PETSC ERROR: Can only get local values, trying 3518!<br>

What am I doing wrong here?<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<br>
thanks.<br>
<br>
Now I have the following:<br>
<br>
- Array unk, which should hold values inside the partition
and in ghost cells. It is big enough to hold both<br>
- Vec x, created by command VecCreateGhost, with proper
padding for ghost cells<br>
- Successful call to linear solver in parallel.<br>
<br>
But I need to copy ghost values from x to my array unk. <br>
<br>
How can I do it?<br>
<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>

<div>The local form is just a local vector. It doesn't
even know that a global problem exists. You can't
index into it using global indices. (In general, there
is no efficient way to look up information in the
local vector (includes ghost points) using global
indices.)</div>

"n" is defined as the number of cells inside, i.e.
without buffers. "unk" is my external array. If I
try to access buffer values, I use:<br>
<br>
<tt> for(Int i=0; i<N; i++) {<br>
Int gi = mesh.nodes[i].global_number;<br>
VecGetValues(x, 1, &gi, &unk[i]);<br>
}<br>
</tt><br>
But then I end up with tons of warnings, presumably
because I am going beyond "n". Vector x was created
with VecCreateGhost.</div>
