I'm running vasp5.2 to compute the eigenvalues of the hessian matrix of an 8-atom unit cell using an 11x11x7 kpoint mesh. Using IBRION=6, NFREE=2 and POTIM=0.02 vasp determines 3 degrees of freedom. Then, after it has completed all the displacements, I get the messages below. Any idea what's wrong?
Finite differences progress:
Degree of freedom: 3/ 3
Displacement: 2/ 2
Total: 6/ 6

Hi there,
any news about that topic?
I got a similar one with that INCAR (frequency part):
IBRION = 8 # switches on the DFPT vibrational analysis (with no symmetry constraints)
ISIF = 0 ionic relaxation + stress tensor calcn.
LEPSILON = .TRUE. # enables to calculate and to print the BEC tensors
NSW = 1 # reduces nr. of ionic steps to 1; unlike for IBRION=5, here the setting is very important
NWRITE = 3 # affects OUTCAR verbosity: explicitly forces SQRT(mass)-divided eigenvectors to be printed
