I wrote this many many times in the mailing list:

When changing k-points or rkmax, or even samll changes in lattice parameters:

NEVER run the initialization again !!!!

Only when changing RMTs, you may need to re-initialize (although there are more clever ways (reduce_rmt_lapw or clminter, see UG) for small changes.

​dear users.

I want to find the optimized value of RKmax and k-mesh for a half-metal
compound. The charge convergence of the scf takes very long time and i
want to use the old .clm for new one in finding RKmax or k-mesh process.
When i save_lapw the old program and start new one by the previous .clm,
is it necessery to run all of initial steps (i.e nn, sgroup, symmetry,
lstart,...) for  changing k-point (or RKmax) or changing only the value
of k-point (or RKmax) is sufficient.I 'm not sure of the accuracy of the
latter results. Is there other solution for this problem.

Best Regards.
