It will not overwrite the log file so as to retain everything that has been done to the data set; new information is appended to the end of it.

Hi,

I am updating previously recon'd datasets done with FS versions 4.4 and 5.2 to v5.3. I'm running the recon-all command on the previously done subjects to retain any edits.

However, when I had a look at the recon-all.log, it still has a date from the previous recon in 2013.

The pctsurfcon.log contains this info (below) with an updated date, but nothing else seems to have updated...

T ​he command I'm using ​

recon-all -all -s SUBJ_ID seems to works fine, even identifying initially in the terminal that the build stamps do not match. It does also take much less time than a recon from scratch.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help! Donna
