When I set restart to 100, and do -ksp_monitor, it does converge (for the
fieldsplit_1_ksp). Are you saying that in spite of having
-ksp_converged_reason in the option and petsc completing the run with the
message "Linear solve converged due to CONVERGED_RTOL .." not enough to
make sure that everything is converging ? If that is the case what should I
do for this particular problem ?

I have used the MAC scheme with indexing as shown in:  fig 7.5, page 96 of:
http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=W83gxp165SkC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Introduction+to+Numerical+Geodynamic+Modelling&hl=en&sa=X&ei=v6TmUaP_L4PuOs3agJgE&ved=0CDIQ6AEwAA

Thus I have a DM with 4 dof but there are several "ghost values" set to 0.
Would this cause any problem when using the multigrid ? (This has worked
fine when not using the multigrid.)

Which tutorial are you referring to ? Could you please provide me the link
please ?
