External Email - Use Caution        

Hello Pal,

Could be because tar archive contains hard links - which I don’t believe are supported when running a linux VM on top of a Windows OS (error from the first hard link it encountered and tried to write - and then quit).

You could try expanding the tar archive ignoring *all*links* with the following using the *star* (pre-cursor to tar) command (cut and paste below and change tar archive name if need be),

$ star -x  f=freesurfer-linux-centos7_x86_64-7.1.0.tar.gz  -find ! -type l

- R.

Thank you for the response.
The computer runs Win10 pro and are under AD-control. May be there are something there out of my reach. Funny that it is almost only unpacking of some man-pages giving errors
I’ll try your suggestions.

I’m not totally sure of the answer here. Could be filesystem limitations or a permissions issue. Have you tried untar’ing without the -p flag, or ensuring that you can write to /usr/local?

Subject: [Freesurfer] Install issue

        External Email - Use Caution        

Today I tried to set up a new Freesurfer instance.
It is on a Win10 system with Vmware 6.0 and Ubuntu 18 LTS.
 
I have tried a local install and to /usr/local, but I get the same error  “cannot hardlink to….” And then a row of protocol errors (see attachment).
 
What is the issue?
