            Well,                      I did but the "scf" restarted calculation (from the .save dir) leads to a different (higher) value of the final enthalpy.... and this makes me suspicious about such procedure....           thanks in any case,           G

Dear Giacomo Giorgi:   Try to do an additional scf calculation before "nscf".   Maybe it works:)

Dear all,             I performed some calculations with the version of the code installed in the Cineca Supercomputer Center (4.1).



I did "vc_relax" calculations for the optimization of ZB, RS, and WZ-ZnO and I got reasonable results.



Then I would like to do "nscf" calculation for the bands.
Anyway, once I restart the "nscf" calculation (where I increase the k-point sampling and the number of Bands) I get this error message that is related to the incompatibility of the FFT between the "vc_relax" and the "nscf" calculation.

How to fix it? 




Thanks in advance!Giacomo

This is the input file for the "nscf" calculation. ( The "vc-relax" went fine, so I do not report the input)
