Pierre,
Yes, sorry, I'll keep the list in copy.
Launching with those options (-mat_mumps_icntl_28 2 -mat_mumps_icntl_29 2)
I get an error during the analysis step. I also launched increasing the
memory and I still have the error.

*The calculations stops at :*

Entering CMUMPS 5.4.1 from C interface with JOB, N =   1      699150
      executing #MPI =      2, without OMP

 =================================================
 MUMPS compiled with option -Dmetis
 MUMPS compiled with option -Dparmetis
 =================================================
L U Solver for unsymmetric matrices
Type of parallelism: Working host

 ****** ANALYSIS STEP ********

 ** Maximum transversal (ICNTL(6)) not allowed because matrix is distributed
 Using ParMETIS for parallel ordering
 Structural symmetry is: 90%


*The error:*

[0]PETSC ERROR: Caught signal number 11 SEGV: Segmentation Violation,
