[Pw_forum] Get wrong symmtry

[yumin qian]

Dear Prof.

 I am doing LaOFeAs ground state calculation , it symmetry blongs to
  p4/nmm space group , when I finish the ground state calculation , I
procced to do the phonon calculation of Gamma point , But the output file
tell me that at Gamma point the symmetry is C_4v , but it should be D_4h,
then I look at the x.save fold to find the data-file.xml  I find the
symmetry operation is completely different from the D_4h , I also use the
Vasp to do the calculation and I get the D_4h symmetry operation , I check
the possible error of my in put file for SCF calculation the only possible
error is the parameter ibrav=6, and the crystal is indeed a
Tetragonal P (st)  cell
   where is the errror ? Or what mistake I have made , is there someone to
tell me what's the problem ? Thanks ,I am looking forward to the answer.


this is my input file for ground state SCF calculation
