[Libmesh-devel] MPI Partitioner support clarification

[Boris B. <bor...@bu...>]

Hello all,

As part of further investigations for #1468
<https://github.com/libMesh/libmesh/issues/1468> Ive started to experiment
with various partitioners to try and further narrow down the problem.

While the issue apparently appears with both PETSc's Parametis as well as
the libMesh contrib Parametis, I wanted to clarify if this affects other
parallel Partitioners and wanted to double check which ones are expected to
support builds with MPI enabled. In some preliminary testing I encountered
issues with the LinearPartitioner, and the SFCPartitioner complained it
wasnt enabled despite me configuring using --enable-everything. Any ideas
if theres anything simple I could have forgotten?

Thanks for any info in advanced,
 - Boris Boutkov
