[petsc-dev] [Fortran] MatLoad() error: MatLoad is not supported for type: mpiaij!

[Barry Smith]

  Well it may be related in some loose sense. But not particularly.  Even though this matrix lives on one process it is stored as an MPIAIJ which has not check for symmetry.

  In general for sparse matrices it is best never to check if the matrix is symmetric.
