[Pw_forum] Not converging scf calculation

[Ker Park]

Hello all,
I am doing scf calculation for bulk MoS2, but it never reaches convergence.I tried up to 300 Ry for 'ecut' though, the total energies were around 250 Ry and fluctuated randomly (energies were even positive). I am copying my 'scf.in' file below. Please generously provide any suggestions. The crystal structure is Hexagonal structure with a basis of 6 atoms (I think). I checked a lot of times, but my structure setup could be wrong. I am also copying the addresses where the crystal structure is shown. Please let me know if my structure could be simpler.
Many thanks,Kerr
