[Pw_forum] strange number of kpoints

[Javad hashemifar]

Dear Espresso users

I am calculating CrAs in the hexagonal NiAs structure and in order to
study different types of antiferromagnetic arrangement, the in plane
lattice parameters (a,b) are doubled. I am using an "automatic" k-mesh
of 10x10x14 while the output number of (irreducible) k-points are:

number of k points= 2170

It is strange to me because I expect that the number of kpoints in the
irreducible wedge of the BZ should be less than the total number of
kpoints that I think should be around 10x10x14 = 1400 points.
I searched the archive but unfortunately did not find any answer and
so your comments in this regard is highly appreciated.

This system has 4 Sym.Ops. (with inversion).

Thanks in advance
