Hi,

I have upgraded to v5.0 assuming that I'll be in a better shape now. I issued this command:

nohup recon-all -s ../NanditaGoodDataSetSubject5.0_run2 -i ./t1_svs.nii -autorecon-all &

which failed after a while . I used nohup so that I can close shell with terminating the calculation. The tail of recon-all.log is show below (in red ). I do assume that I have no RAM problems as this computer is dedicated for such calculations.

Any hint pls?
