<p>We don't keep coordinates, just use the provided null space.</p>
<p>We should make MatDiagonalScale update the near null space.</p>

The block size is used if you don't provide any other information. The preferred approach with petsc-dev is to use MatSetNearNullSpace(). (I'll make sure this is currently working with ML and reply to this message.)</blockquote>

<div><br></div><div>One thing to keep in mind is that diagonal scaling breaks the null space (ie, the rigid body modes have to be scaled appropriately). Who owns the diagonal scaling? If it is Mat then we might want MatSetNearNullSpace to do this, otherwise we should think of a good way to deal with this. It is very error prone to not do the right thing here, we should at least throw an error.</div>
