Hi Ilana,

1. This is usually because of big topological defects, in the worst case if the cerebellum or skull are attached. Look at the end of the recon-all.log and see what it is in the middle of doing. If it's topology fixing, check the inflated.nofix file and see if there is a huge defect.

2. This is also a topology fixer problem. Nick: isn't it only in the new fixer?

Hi there,
we are having two unrelated problems with a couple of files:

1.  A brain running extremely slow, after initial processing. i.e. we ran
recon-all, made some edits (control points etc.) and now for some reason the
second round is taking days.
2.  An error message*: ERROR: _FindFacePath: could not find path!   *We
looked it up on the freesurfer wiki and there is an entry about this error,
but the answer perhaps was not posted.

thanks
