[QE-users] Wrong number of k-points?

[Laurens Siemons]

Dear QE users,

I'm running a relax calculation and I encountered something that I do not understand in the output file. I used a 2 2 1 1 1 0 Monkhorst-Pack grid in my input file (which is shown below) but the output file tells me I only have 2 k-points:


       116           H   tau( 116) = (   3.8845153   0.8033970  -0.3177301  )
       117           H   tau( 117) = (   3.8658215   1.2769290  -0.3107519  )
       118           H   tau( 118) = (   4.1682098   1.0557090  -0.6030099  )

     number of k points=     2
                       cart. coord. in units 2pi/alat
        k(    1) = (   0.0000000   0.0833333  -0.0984507), wk =   1.0000000
        k(    2) = (   0.0000000   0.0833333   0.0984507), wk =   1.0000000

     Dense  grid:  5866317 G-vectors     FFT dimensions: ( 180, 160, 480)

     Smooth grid:  1484065 G-vectors     FFT dimensions: ( 108,  96, 320)

I would expect at least 4 k-point right? The system possesses no symmetry.

Thanks in advance,
