Dear FreeSurfer experts

I am trying to extract the label using standard aparc.annot and will be using mri_mergelabels to create my own lobes to do GLM fit later on for ROI analysis.

However, it shows me the error like this when I check there are the files aparc.annot and the file from surf folder.

[toibigi2007@localhost OASIS_Data]$ mri_annotation2label --subject OASIS_0002_MR1 --hemi lh --outdir $SUBJECTS_DIR/OASIS_0002_MR1/label

subject = OASIS_0002_MR1

annotation = aparc

hemi = lh

outdir = /media/3B110EAE3B9DE8E0/OASIS_Data/OASIS_0002_MR1/label

surface   = white

ERROR: creating directory /media/3B110EAE3B9DE8E0/OASIS_Data/OASIS_0002_MR1/label

No such file or directory

One more question is that it says default is "white" surface, but I want to measure the cortical thickness.  Can I leave white in like this or do I change into --surf to gray for this?

Thank you and best regards,
