Dear Amar,

A general comment: Have you considered why your cell changes so much from the initial one? It is hard to say without seeing the input. If you think that the job is meaningful, you could take the latest cell vectors and atomic positions and start with 'from_scratch' again. But usually when I have had this messsage, I have ended up realising that my initial structure was somehow errorneous.

Hi Friends,
​I am trying to optimize a supercell using vc-relax using ibrav = 14, unit cell 
volume keeps on shrinking and finally ends up with an error "Not
enough space allocated for radial FFT: try restarting with a larger 
cell_factor". Using cell factor = 8 and ecutrho = 10 X ecutwfc helped a bit
in reducing the rate at which volume of cell decreases / SCF cycle, but not 
solved the problem completely. Can these variables be increased
further ?
Would be thankful for any suggestion on it.
Thanks
