Hi Salvatore

that is a very large defect - about 1/4 the size of a typical surface. Usually that means something big is wrong and you'll need to correct it manually. You can visualize the defects on the ?h.orig.nofix and ?h.inflated.nofix surfaces and use them to figure out what is causing the defect in the wm.mgz and correct it with either manual editing or control points.

Hi Freesurfer experts!

I am running recon-all with a Toshiba Satellite (16 Gb RAM and 4 CPU). My OS is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty). Unfortunately recon-all gets stucked at the following:

CORRECTING DEFECT 0 (vertices=30357, convex hull=5730) XL defect detected...

I am using the Freesurfer development version, because I need to use Recon Edit. Attached you find the recon-all log.

Best regards,

Salvatore
