This is indeed surprising, given the block structure of the matrix and the exact block solves we'd expect the solver to converge after the application of the preconditioner. Please send the output of -ksp_view
<br>
<br>
Barry<br>
<br>
Also if you are willing to share your test code we can try running it to determine why it doesn't converge immediately.<br>
