Hello Pal,
Could be because tar archive contains hard links - which I don’t believe are supported when running a linux VM on top of a Windows OS (error from the first hard link it encountered and tried to write - and then quit).
You could try expanding the tar archive ignoring *all*links* with the following using the *star* (pre-cursor to tar) command (cut and paste below and change tar archive name if need be),
$&nbsp;star -x &nbsp;f=freesurfer-linux-centos7_x86_64-7.1.0.tar.gz&nbsp; -find ! -type l
- R.
