please do volume optimisation first depending upon your crystal structure,
i.e. vary volume or c/a or whatever
you like and then run scf and when it converges you ll find how much force
in respective atom(s) and then you
can decide the lattice to relax by running min -I -J "run_lapw -I -fc 1.0 -i
40.

so far as i know you can't do both the job simultaneously, so optimise
volume  and get lattice constants and
then you can force minimise by relaxing the lattice.
