> Dear SIESTA-communist,

I wonder how many in the community will feel addressed...
Anyway, here is my guess:
You set spin = true but do not define DM.InitSpin block
(unless I overlooked it). In this case all atoms,
including Ga, are initialized with maximal spin moment.
Then the system tries to repair it. You'll help considerably
by initializing the spins on Fe atoms only, in the first place.
The Fermi energy, too low in your case, is a hint that something
is wrong. A general suggestion: if you think that
something goes wrong but don't know what exactly, calculate
partial densities of states (even in non converged case),
and look at it; it might bring you to some idea.
Looking just at the DM convergence is usually not enough.

Best regards
