External Email - Use Caution        

Hello,

I'm trying to run freesurfer v5.3 recon-all and running into an error I'm not sure how to troubleshoot.  I'm using essentially the same commands that i've successfully used to run version 6.0 recently, and that i've also successfully run 5.3 with in the past.  

On my first pass, I attempted to run this full recon-all command: 

/cifs/hariri-long/Scripts/Tools/FreeSurfer_v5.3/freesurfer/bin/recon-all_noLink -all -s sub-0223_mprage -openmp 1 -i /cifs/hariri-long/Studies/DBIS_P52/Imaging/sourcedata/sub-0223/anat/sub-0223_T1w.nii.gz

And eventually got the error: 

      MRISread(/work/long/freesurfer_v5.3_DBIS/sub-0223_mprage/surf/rh.white): could not open file

Lots of lh surf files were produced as well as 3 of the lh stats files (aparc, curv, w-g), but nothing for rh, and I could not find the rh.white file.  I then tried running rh using:

/cifs/hariri-long/Scripts/Tools/FreeSurfer_v5.3/freesurfer/bin/recon-all_noLink -all -s sub-0223_mprage -openmp 1 -hemi rh

And eventually got the error:

      MRISread(/work/long/freesurfer_v5.3_DBIS/rh.EC_average/surf/rh.sphere.reg): could not open file

One thing that seems weird about the second error is that it is looking in $SUBJECTS_DIR instead of $SUBJECTS_DIR/<subject> for the rh.sphere file, when the file does exist in $SUBJECTS_DIR/<subject>/surf (but not the top dir where it's looking)

Also wanted to note that i'm running this a slightly tweaked version to remove symlinks which aren't allowed on the cluster i'm working on (which is running CentOS 8):

$ diff /cifs/hariri-long/Scripts/Tools/FreeSurfer_v5.3/freesurfer/bin/recon-all_noLink /cifs/hariri-long/Scripts/Tools/FreeSurfer_v5.3/freesurfer/bin/recon-all

Any tips on how I can troubleshoot this?  Attaching recon-all.log file.  Thanks!!
