Hi Peter

it looks like this is the first error:

GCAMwrite(transforms/talairach.m3z): gzip encountered error. writing output transformation to transforms/talairach.m3z... GCAMwrite GCAMwrite:: m3z loop GCAMwrite:: the command is: gzip -f -c > transforms/talairach.m3z GCAMwrite:: the popen error code is: 38 mri_ca_register: GCAMwrite(transforms/talairach.m3z) failed

which corresponds to (in errno.h)

#define ENOSYS 38 /* Function not implemented */

which isn't terribly useful. Is it possibly your file system is full? Seems like something flakey in NFS. Can you ask a sysadmin to see if there are any error messages on that file system around the same time?

Good Morning, List.

I'm recon-all(ing) a bunch of T1 images using the command recon-all -i input.nii.gz -subject name -all -sd /path/to/subject/directory  Most of the time, these are running just fine, but occasionally, they are exiting with error (recon-all.log attached). I don't understand what is going on, as the input data looks okay and I'm running the same command over and over (using PBS)?.

Any help would be appreciated.

Best Wishes

Peter
