a whole night may not be enough depending on the speed of your machine, and how far from our atlas anatomy your subject is. Those messages are normal and part of the most computationally intensive step in recon-all, so see if it take a day or so to finish

I waited a whole night ... I don't recall getting this message last summer.I will run it again and check it back again on Friday just to be sure.
Thank you,

that isn't an error message - just an informational one. How long did you wait? Are you sure it is not going to terminate if you let it run long enough? cheers Bruce On Wed, 7 Mar 2012, Jimmy Ghaziri wrote: Dear FreeSurfer community, I am running Ubuntu 11.10 on an Intel i7 970 3.20Ghz 64bit (11 CPUs) with 12GB DDR3 RAM on a 120GB raid 0 solid state hard drives. I have ran recon-all this summer on some of my subjects and it worked perfectly in 13 hours. I'm trying to run one more analyse (a recon-all) and I keep getting this error message when it gets to recon2 : **************** pass 1 of 1 ************************ setting smoothness coefficient to 0.039 blurring input image with Gaussian with sigma=2.000... 0000: dt=0.000, rms=0.789, neg=0, invalid=766 gcamFindOptimalTimeStep: Complete in 26136.459 ms 0001: dt=129.472000, rms=0.731 (7.421%), neg=0, invalid=766 gcamFindOptimalTimeStep: Complete in 24108.512 ms and it continues this way on and on. I tried to run recon-all again on an old subject (on which it worked this summer) by renaming the files and folders of course and I got the same error message. I uninstalled and reinstalled FreeSurfer and still am getting the message. I ran one of the subject on my colleagues machine (which is slower than mine; took him 22 hours) and it worked perfectly. Can anyone tell me what could be the problem ? I will need to run more analyses in a few months and I need to fix it ASAP. Here's the command I'm using (which is the same as my colleague and as indicated on FS wiki) : recon-all -subjid a_al_t1 -i ~/Documents/T1W_3D_TFE/GHA_A-C_2234495-T1W_3D_TFE-20101207-301-1.dicom -all Thank you, JimmyThe information in this e-mail is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed.
