Hello,
I forgot to mention another query regarding recon-all -make all:
If I do end up running this command on the subjects that fail the qcache processing (so effectively rerunning the whole recon-all stream), will any edits I have made to fix errors (such as control points, wm.mgz edits and pial edits) be erased, or will they be incorporated into the new reconstruction?
Many thanks (again),
Rysia

Hello,
When running recon-all -qcache -s <subject> with a view to running qdec analyses I get the following error message, which I think I understand, however I am having trouble with the -make all option of recon-all that is recommended in a previous thread:
"Reading curvature file /PICKACARDB01/surf/lh.jacobian_white
ERROR: number of vertices in /PICKACARDB01/surf/lh.jacobian_white does not match surface (150934, 150818)
ERROR: reading curvature file
recon-all exited with ERRORS at Tue Dec 9 ..."
This subject was originally run on 4.0.1 (Linux-centos4_x86_64 version)
And then corrected and rerun on 4.0.3 (Linux-centos4_x86_64 version)
(I understand that this is not always a good thing to do rerunning on a different version so don't know if this has anything to do with it..). I think I am correct in saying that they problem might be due to rerunning portions of recon-all (in this case we reran from -autorecon2-wm to correct a wm error) such that the new surface vertices do not match such that the lh.jacobian_white file in this case is now invalid.
My query is as follows:
I have experimented with running "recon-all -s <subject> -make all" to fix the above problem but it seems to be going through the entirety of the recon-all processing stream... I thought it only ran the parts that were missing, or in the case that dependency files are older than a particular file. Have I misunderstood this flag, or is it running through the whole of recon-all simply because we are running it on 4.0.3, so it is updating all of the recon-all files up to autorecon2-wm that were created from version 4.0.1?
It is interesting that the error happens in this case only on the jacobian_white surface, in other subjects it has occurred for all smoothing surface files on a single hemisphere (.e.g. volume, sulc, curv, thickness, jacobian_white ..) and in many just the .volume files are missing... it is confusing.
Naturally I would love to avoid reprocessing these subjects from scratch! But I can see how this might not be possible.
Thanks very much for your time,
Rysia
