External Email - Use Caution
Hi Fleur,
the error:
ln: failed to create symbolic link 'brain.nii.gz': Operation not supported
sounds like the file system used on the server does not support the creation of symbolic links. Maybe this is a Windows server, and the hard disk in question is formatted using some Windows file system (e.g., NTFS or some FAT flavour)?
You should ask your IT admin on the server whether they can provide a disk with a unix filesysytem (e.g., ext4).
Best,
Tim

Hi FreeSurfer team,
I'm trying to run the infant freesurfer (version: freesurfer-infant-20200205 ) and get the following error:
ln: failed to create symbolic link 'brain.nii.gz': Operation not supported
The command I used was:
infant_recon_all --s 002B --age 0
I think this may have to do with the fact that my subjects_dir is located on a server (not the computer I'm running FreeSurfer on), since when I ran the command with the subjects_dir located on my local computer it ran fine and completed without errors. Unfortunately for space reasons it isn't possible for me to do that for my entire dataset.
Thanks,
Fleur
