Hi Dear,
When I set k-points in KPOINTS as follows:
Automatic mesh
0
Gamma
4 4 4
0 0 0
and in INCAR, the symmetry parameter ISYM already have setted as zero,
but in IBZKPT ,the k-points are still like these:
36
Reciprocal lattice
0.00000000000000 0.00000000000000 0.00000000000000 1
0.25000000000000 0.00000000000000 0.00000000000000 2
0.50000000000000 0.00000000000000 0.00000000000000 1
0.00000000000000 0.25000000000000 0.00000000000000 2
0.25000000000000 0.25000000000000 0.00000000000000 2
0.50000000000000 0.25000000000000 0.00000000000000 2
-0.25000000000000 0.25000000000000 0.00000000000000 2
0.00000000000000 0.50000000000000 0.00000000000000 1
0.25000000000000 0.50000000000000 0.00000000000000 2

we can see that the symmetry is still there......so how to swithc off the symmetry compeletly??? :!
Try to switch off symmetry

Please set ISYM = -1 in order to switch of the time reversal symmetrization.

Give many thanks to forsdan, Indeed ISYM=-1 play a crucial role.
