Dear Freesurfer developers,
I am running the trac-all -prep for my DWI data on Freesurfer version 7.2.0. The configuration file seems to be alright but when I start running the -prep step it gives me the error:
writing to /Volumes/DRCS_MAIN_SERVER/DRCS/BIOCIS/Neuroimaging/Stats/Freesurfer/diffusion_tracula/BIOC_0001_v01_FS/dmri/dwi_orig.1.nii.gz...

I have attached the log file, error file, bvals and bvecs and the configuration file and as the screenshot below shows: the directory does have the bvals.txt and bvecs.txt files, so I’m not sure why it’s giving me this error? I thought
the error was because the bvals and bvecs were given in rows, so I transposed them so they are now in columns but it still doesn’t work.

I have run tracula before with no issues so I’m really lost here. Could you please help?
Thank you so much!
Best,
Ashwati
