Constrained decomposition:

    faces all on same processor : 0

ERROR: graphCheck: arc data do not match
Steps To ReproduceUsing decomposePar -cellDist on a cyclic mesh with 12 processors, preserving the cyclic halves with

preservePatches (inletOutlet_half0 inletOutlet_half1);
Additional InformationThis is a pure polyhedra mesh produced using Fluent and converted in fluent3DMeshToFoam. I would not have filed this, but the mesh works and is decomposed with scotch in 2.0.x just this morning. i switched to 2.1.x on our cluster and it fails, giving the error above.

Linux version 2.6.32-131.21.1.el6.x86_64 (mockbuild@sl6.fnal.gov) (gcc version 4.4.5 20110214 (Red Hat 4.4.5-6) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Tue Nov 22 14:15:09 CST 2011

Test cases, other parallel solvers, and foamInstallationTest all pass.

For decompositionMethods that use the mesh-connectivity (scotch, ptscotch) you don't need this option - they already take cyclic connections into account.

Removing the

preservePatches (inletOutlet_half0 inletOutlet_half1);

option produces the same error. Also, using mappedPatch instead of cyclic produces the same error (maybe different bug report should be filed).

I ran the channel395 tutorial with only sides1 cyclic and that decomposes ok (scotch) without preservePatches.

(it does indeed not run with preservePatches and I'm investigating that)

For others that are dealing with this, a temporary workaround is to use OF-2.0.x and roll back to a previous version that didn't have this bug. From my log file above, this is build 5ae28021cd90
 
# rolling back your current git repo
git reset --hard 5ae28021cd90

or you can clone a new 2.0.x repo and then execute this command to roll back the new repo to the correct version.
