Hi Doug,

I am also running FS on a virtual machine and encoutered the same problem with the symbolic links that is described below. When I run the make_average_subject script only data for the right hemisphere is created. Then it seems to stop with the message:

ln: creating symbolic link `rh.sphere' to `rh.sphere.reg': Operation not supported

I was wondering if you have modified the script to allow a copy instead of a link. Will symbolic links be used later in the group analysis steps as well?

Many thanks,

Stefan

Re: [Freesurfer] symbolic links

Hi Doug,

while trying to expand the volume of my virtual machine to be able to create symbolic links I started wondering if the way I preprocessed my data with recon_all might be affected somehow by the fact symbolic links were not supported (the data was located on a mounted drive). The only error message regarding this came during the make_average_subject part...

Is there any way to use freesurfer avoiding the creation of symbolic links?

many thanks bogdan
