Hello All,
I want to do a relax calculation for FeS. The forces  that I calculated is
Total force =    11.363189     Total SCF correction =     0.000116
 entering subroutine stress ...
    total   stress  (Ry/bohr**3)                   (kbar)     P=82027.53
   0.53727930   0.00000000   0.00000000      79036.50      0.00      0.00
   0.00000000   0.53727930   0.00000000          0.00  79036.50      0.00
   0.00000000   0.00000000   0.59827705          0.00      0.00  88009.58

When I am performing the relax calculations, it stops after few iterations
and not proceeding further. Here is my input file relax.in

K_POINTS (automatic)
4 4 4 0 0 0
I am not able to understand, after a few iterations, why it is not
proceeding further. I tried with a different ecut, K points, and changing
the diagonalization, but nothing is working.
 Please have a look, any suggestions would be greatly appreciable.

warm regards,
Poonam Sharma
