Hi altruists,
I am on quantum espresso v6.6. I am trying to do vc-relax of a doped structure 
of MoTe2 supercell (2x2x1) which has 12 atoms in the supercell and hexagonal 
symmetry (ibrav = 4). I've replaced 2 Mo atoms with Co atoms and done vc-relax 
calculation. But after the vc-relax the ibrav has been changed to 9 which says 
orthorhombic base-c#1 in burai. But I want to keep ibrav = 4. How can I solve 
this problem?
