Selective dynamics in phonon calculation

[njuxyh]

hi everyone
i want to calculate the phonon frequencies at G point.
i have a look at the manual, and i found
Selective dynamics are presently only supported for IBRION=5;
1)so, it means i can not use IBRION=6 (only symmetry inequivalent displacements are considered) and IBRION=7,8( the density functional perturbation theory) when i use selective dynamic?
in fact, i think if i calculate phonon frequency using frozen phonon, all atoms should move one by one. there are no selective, all atoms should be labeled like below. at this point, what should i write in POSCAR?
2) if i want to use density functional perturbation theory to calculate phonon, how i write in POSCAR?( in the density functional perturbation theory, the atoms need not move)
am i right?

1) Just take the CONTCAR of your selective optimisation and then it goes. Or put more "F F F" lines for freezing more atoms.
2) I'd guess: Just remove the selective ... line and give it a try.

Hint: you can always figure this out if you go for a water molecule. Then you'll see, what the program is doing without loosing too much CPU time.

Cheers,
