[Pw_forum] Fermi level too large

[Stefano de Gironcoli]

the value of starting magnetization is used to brake the up/dw symmetry  
in the charge density but the code then find a self-consistent solution 
so if there aren't many different minima the final value of the total 
magnetization should be independent from it.
the Fermi energy is what it has to be in order to minimise the energy 
with the specified system parameters so it's not clear to me what do you 
mean by saying it's too large

what may influence the value of E_F and tot_magnetization are more 
likely:  structure, lattice parameter, nearest-neighbour distances, 
xc-functional, k-point sampling, smearing,  ...
