I have had some issues with Ubuntu (installation stops before completing).  I am currently trying to get a dual boot set up with Windows 10.  Someone mentioned I should try Centos instead of Ubuntu?

Thoughts?

Pros vs Cons?

Yes, that would be a good option. Its a little work but here is a guide that I dug up which helps explain the process. For the version of linux to use... I would recommend Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS

Would a feasible approach be to set up a dual-boot on my PC so that I can boot directly into either a Windows or Linux environment?

I was afraid this was the case. Normally in this situation I would say set up a shared folder between the host and the virtual machines. But unfortunately there is a known bug in the the MNI tools shipped with freesurfer which makes this an incompatible arrangement.

The disk space was assigned to allow perhaps a few subjects worth of data onto the virtual image, otherwise the download size would have been prohibitively large. If you want to process numerous subjects the VirtualBox version is insuffiecient, you will have to use the Mac or Linux version.

I would appear that the allotted hard drive space is fixed as a function of the Freesurfer installation.  There does not appear to be an option to expand allotted space either at time of installation or after the fact.

I think its referring to the hard disk space in the virtual machine. You probably ran out which is not surprising, as the amount of free space provided with the disk image is fairly small. The fact the your host machine has 305Gb of HD on the host machine is unknown to the virtual machine.

See if you can expand the hard disk space of the virtual machine (not sure if this is adjustable or not). Also, try setting up a shared folder between the two (this has other potential issues, but is worth trying).

Thank you, Bruce for the rapid reply.  I am running Freesurfer on a (Windows 10 based), virtual machine.  I installed / set it up according to the directions posted here:

...specifically referring to the recommended memory suggestions of 4MB.  Otherwise, I saw no other options for specifying memory requirements.

What is the nature of this memory error and how do I go about fixing it?  I know that I have 305 Gb of HD.

Hi Brad

it looks like the recon failed as you ran out of disk space:

cvarput: ncid 5: No space left on device

miicv_put: MINC package entry point

nu_evaluate: crashed while running mincmath (termination status=768)

nu_correct: crashed while running nu_evaluate (termination

status=768)

as for what would have been next, that of course depends on what you

want to study

cheers
