[Pw_forum] ecutrho <= ecutwfc?!?

Dear Jingyang,

In your case, it is indeed strange because the error of 'ecutrho <=
ecutwfc?!' only occurs when ecutrho / ecutwfc <= 1.0_dp.

I advise you to make some tests with smaller ecutwfc, for example, 35, 40,
... because you use PAW pp, please note ecutrho also depends on the shape
of augmentation charge, it may be not enough to set it to 4*ecutwfc, try to
increse the ratio of ecutrho/ecutwfc correspondingly.
