Are you saying that you have an unstructured grid with ghost cells, and you
would like PETSc to produce
a Vec of the correct size and Mat with the correct preallocation for that
grid and discretization, just as DA
does for structured grids?

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their
experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their
experiments lead.
