External Email - Use Caution

The release notes for 7.0.0 claim that the -make option is "Gone" from recon-all. This option, however, is still available and does not seem to fail.

I am running several thousand data sets on a cluster through Freesurfer 7.1.0, and periodically the process fails for some subjects. In the past the "recon-all -make all" feature was a very convenient way to complete freesurfer runs that were terminated early for some unknown reason

Q1) should "recon-all -make all" be avoided for FreeSurfer 7.1.0? Q2) is there an alternate way to "continue form the point where results are missing" in the pipeline?

Thanks, Hans
