Dear All QE users,

While doing scf calculations on alpha O2 crystal, i got a massage :

Found symmetry operation: I + (  0.0000 -0.5000 -0.5000)
     This is a supercell, fractional translation are disabled

Although code correctly predicts the space group, is there something wrong
in
the input coordinates?

However, i checked the structure in Xcrysden, and found it to be correct
(i.e. correct bond
lengths, angles, distances between atoms).

Can anybody help me out?

Below is the part of input file:
