[Pw_forum] does cell_dofree work?

Dear all,
I'm playing around with the cell_dofree variable and I don't manage to
make it work. Currently I'm trying to relax only the c lattice vector
of a tetragonal cell together with the atomic coordinates, so I use
the following:
&control
calculation = 'vc-relax'
restart_mode = 'from_scratch'
pseudo_dir = '***/pseudo/'
outdir = '***/tmp'
forc_conv_thr = 1d-3
/
&system
ibrav=6
celldm(1)=6.8
celldm(3)=1.1
nat=5
ntyp=3
nbnd=28
ecutwfc=30.0
occupations = 'fixed'
/
&electrons
diagonalization = 'cg'
conv_thr = 1d-8,
mixing_beta=0.2,
/
&ions
ion_dynamics = 'bfgs'
bfgs_ndim = 5
ion_positions = 'from_input'
/
&cell
cell_dynamics = 'bfgs'
cell_dofree = 'z'
/
ATOMIC_SPECIES
Pb 207.2 Pb.pz-d-van.UPF
Ti 47.867 Ti.pz-sp-van_ak.UPF
O 15.9994 O.pz-van_ak.UPF
ATOMIC_POSITIONS crystal
Pb 0.000 0.000 0.040 0 0 1
Ti 0.500 0.500 0.530 0 0 1
O 0.000 0.500 0.500 0 0 1
O 0.500 0.500 0.000 0 0 1
O 0.500 0.000 0.500 0 0 1
K_POINTS {automatic}
6 6 6 1 1 1
However, when I run PW, all the lattice vectors are relaxed. I've
checked the mail list but it's not clear to me whether this variable
is actually fully implemented or not.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Pablo
