You must be talking about each internal call to MatSetValuesBlocked_MPIBAIJ(B,1,&row,ncols,icols,svals,INSERT_VALUES) where it puts in one block row of values with each call.

Yes, that's what I was talking about. And yes, if you have
column-oriented block values [e.g, in fotran you use an array
VALUES(bs,bs,nnz) ] and use MatSetOption(), you are fine and
MatMPIBAIJSetPreallocationCSR() will do the right thing. Otherwise
(e.g, you are in C and use VALUES[nnz][bs][bs]), feeding
MatMPIBAIJSetPreallocationCSR() with these values will not work. I
guess we have to live with that.
