After using

mpiexec -np 46 ./a-gmres.out -options_left -poisson_ksp_type gmres 
-poisson_pc_type hypre -poisson_pc_hypre_type boomeramg > log

  I still get:

#PETSc Option Table entries:
-options_left
-poisson_ksp_type gmres
-poisson_pc_hypre_type boomeramg
-poisson_pc_type hypre
#End of PETSc Option Table entries
There is one unused database option. It is:
Option left: name:-poisson_pc_hypre_type value: boomeramg

Did I missed out something?
