[Pw_forum] Questions on mg bulk calculation!

[Adrain Zhou]

Dear all,
 
When I perform a test on Mg bulk. I met the following problems,
 
1. Symmetry operation is not allowed.
     warning: symmetry operation #  2 not allowed.   fractional translation:
      -0.3333333  0.3333333 -0.5000000  in crystal coordinates
     warning: symmetry operation #  4 not allowed.   fractional translation:
      -0.3333334  0.3333333  0.5000000  in crystal coordinates
     ..........
2. Convergence problem of eigenvectors. The energy seems okay!
  iteration #  6     ecut=    40.00 ryd     beta=0.50
     Davidson diagonalization (with overlap)
   WARNING:     1 eigenvalues not converged
 warning :   1 eigenvectors not converged after   1 attemps
     ethr =  4.45E-08,  avg # of iterations =  6.5
     total energy              =   -12.70531131 ryd
     estimated scf accuracy    <     0.00000049 ryd
 
Can anyone tell me how to resolve this problem? I also attach the input file. I do appreciate your help on checking my input file.
