Dear prof. Paolo Giannozzi

Thank you for quick response. Please, clarify me: I set variable
"use_all_frac=.true." and option "verbosity='high'" and get output showed
below. Hoverwer, I am still unable to find the right values of frac. trans
(n=1?) I have to calculate phonons,
so i need to set right k-mesh.

     8 Sym. Ops., with inversion, found

Thank you in avdance.

*****************************************************************************

Set variable "use_all_frac=.true." and option "verbosity='high'". This will
find and print all symmetries and associated fractional translations. If a
fractional translation along a crystal axis is 1/n, with n integer, the FFT
dimension along that axis must contain a factor n. If you do not need
hybrid functionals or phonons, just set variable "use_all_frac=.true."

How to do this for the crystal structure presented below? I have tried to this for various k-mesh, but every time I get 6 symmetry operations are not compatible with FFT grid:
