I have run freesurfer 6Beta on the scan with very large CSF spaces
With flags: -bigventricles and –notal-check .
I used the latter flag per suggestions in the log as the first run failed on a talaraich check.
This second run appears to be hung as it has not written anything new into the recon-all.log file for 7 hours.
I would like to restart this at a reasonable point rather than at the beginning.
Can you recognize where it is and what is are suggested restart flags?
Here are the files which have appeared in the mri directory.
