If you keep the c axis and the Bravais lattice fixed, you do not need to perform variable-cell structural optimization: just do a few calculations with (slightly) different in-plane lattice parameter(s).

In any event, please provide the test that doesn't work: I want to get rid of the "not enough space" error, am quite close to it, and may need a test

Dear Pietro,
I am sorry. By mistake I said that my material is  two dimensional. Rather it has a layered structure. There will be relaxation along z-direction also in the thin layer of the atoms. However to have a layered structure, c-axis is set to be large and made fixed by
cell_dofree = 'ibrav + c'
What would be the solution in that case? Please help.
With regards,
pabitra

    Hello
    This happens when the volume of the cell changes too much during the
    relaxation.

    The best route would be to input the values of the in-plane lattice
    constant as close to real ones as possible, being this a 2D
    material, to avoid any relaxation along the z direction.  This can
    be done by adding the
    cell_dofree='2dxy'
    in the &cell namelist
    hope this helps
    best regards
    Pietro

    allocated for radial FFT...
    Dear All,
    I was doing vc-relax of a carbon based 2D system with 12 carbon
    atoms. The program ran and stopped after giving an error message
    following:

    %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
          Error in routine scale_h (1):
          Not enough space allocated for radial FFT: try restarting with
    a larger cell_factor.
      %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

          stopping ...

    I did not have 'cell_factor' in the input file. I restarted vc_relax
    with lattice parameter larger than the expected actual cell. But I
    got the same error again.

    Please help...
