Hi Annchen,

 

It seems that recon-all only processed lh. By default, it should process both lh and rh. Original recon-all have this line ‘set hemilist = (lh rh);’ at the beginning of the script. Can you make sure the one you are running is the original?

 

Best,

Hi Yujing,

 

Thanks so much for your response!  I tried copying $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/fsaverage and $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/${hemi}.EC_average to $SUBJECTS dir before running, and this time I ran with the original recon-all instead of the one that had been edited to remove links (recon-all_noLink).  I was sure this would solve the problem, but I ended up getting the same error:

 

Command:

 

/cifs/hariri-long/Scripts/Tools/FreeSurfer_v5.3/freesurfer/bin/recon-all -all -s sub-0223_mprage -openmp 1 -i /cifs/hariri-long/Studies/DBIS_P52/Imaging/sourcedata/sub-0223/anat/sub-0223_T1w.nii.gz

 

Error: 

 

      MRISread(/work/long/freesurfer_v5.3_DBIS/sub-0223_mprage/surf/rh.white): could not open file

 

Did I need to copy them somewhere besides $SUBJECTS_DIR ?  I’m not seeing any “failed to create symbolic link” messages which I interpret as the script having found the files and not need to run the ‘ln -s’ commands.

 

Attaching the log file from this latest run.

 

Thanks!

Hi Annchen,

 

Your cp commands are missing destination file operands, see the errors in recon-all.log.

 

ln -s $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/fsaverage and ln -s $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/${hemi}.EC_average create symbolic links to directory. You will have to copy those two directories for your subject. I think if you copy them before recon-all, it won’t go through the codes to create the link.

 

Best,
