You can use the -H flag when copying 'cp -RH' and it will follow the symlink's target rather than copying the symlink itself.
But either way that symlink exists in the subjects/bert folder and the existence of those symlinks is inconsequential to the actual running of qdec or other programs, as long as you are analyzing a different subject.

My question is whether these links are important to qdec or other Freesurfer analysis programs, such that me copying files that don’t contain them will result in errors down the line?
Also, I recognize that I could reformat my usb to UDF and be able to copy symbolic links. I tried this, but I found out that my Freesurfer is running on a very old version of Fedora that doesn’t support UDF. So, until I get around to reinstalling Linux on this older computer, I am stuck with my limitations.
