Symbolic links don't require the folders to be on the same filesystem. The 'operation not supported' error seems unusual for making a symbolic link. Aside from the usual things to check (folder write permissions, whether there is already something there with that name), also know that windows and its protocols may not like symbolic links (so, if you are running this over a SMB/CIFS mount, or a FAT filesystem, or NTFS with older Linux, expect trouble).

I think I found the problem and I saw that someone else had the same issues before when it tries to create the symbolic link it fails. Here ln -s $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/fsaverage . ln: failed to create symbolic link `./fsaverage': Operation not supported In old post someone suggest to set the SUBJECTs_DIR to be on the same file system as $FREESURFER_HOME...I can try one case but eventually if I have more subjects I dont think I can because of space limit Let me know if you have suggestions!

Brown" <[email protected]> Organization: Washington University in St. Louis Date: Wednesday, June 28, 2017 at 5:00 PM To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>, " [email protected]" <[email protected]> Cc: "Dierker, Donna" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [HCP-Users] pipeline structural PostFreesurfer wmparc not found Hi Maria, My bet is that the error you are seeing is coming from the last call to recon-all in the FreeSurferPipeline.sh script. This would be in the statements that look like: #Final Recon-all Steps log_Msg "Final Recon-all Steps" recon-all -subjid $SubjectID -sd $SubjectDIR -surfvolume -parcstats -cortparc2 -parcstats2 -cortparc3 -parcstats3 -cortribbon -segstats -aparc2aseg -wmparc -balabels -label-exvivo-ec -openmp ${num_cores} ${seed_cmd_appendix} log_Msg "Completed" In particular, it would be the line that is shown in red above. (Note, depending on the version of the HCP Pipelines you are using, your version of the recon-all command may not have the -openmp ${num_cores} or the ${seed_cmd_appendix} in it.) The -balabels option is asking the recon-all command to "Create Brodmann area labels by mapping from fsaverage". You probably won't have an fsaverage directory in the subject directory which you are processing (in your case the /HCP_project/Pipelines_ ExampleData/subjects/hcp350014/T1w directory). In that case, recon-all creates one for you as a symbolic link to the $FREESURFER_HOME/subjects/ fsaverage directory. It is in a subdirectory of that created fsaverage directory that files like lh.BA1.label should be found. So, the first things that needs to be determined in your case are: - At the time of this failure, does the /HCP_project/Pipelines_ ExampleData/subjects/hcp350014/T1w/fsaverage directory exist at all? - If it does exist, is it a symbolic link to somewhere in your FreeSurfer installation? (I believe it should be a link to the ${FREESURFER_HOME}/subjects/fsaverage directory.) - What is the value of your FREESURFER_HOME environment variable? Can you check into those things and let me know what you find?

I know from my own experience with HCP output to look here for the Freesurfer subject directories: subject-id/T1w/subject-id/label/* subject-id/T1w/subject-id/mri/* subject-id/T1w/subject-id/surf/* … Also see page 21 here: http://humanconnectome.org/storage/app/media/documentation/s1200/HCP_S1200_ Release_Appendix_III.pdf Hopefully there is no problem! :) But I must point out that there is a difference between the Freesurfer v5.3 distribution and Freesurfer 5.3-HCP. The latter uses both T1w & T2w images, which makes a big difference (e.g., for myelin maps). Not sure which you used, but it is an important difference. > On Jun 26, 2017, at 12:27 PM, Mandelli, Maria Luisa <[email protected]> <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi! > I m running the structural HCP pipeline and I m using Freesurfer v5.3 > It seems that the job finished without errors but I dont see the files in the T1w folder of the subject. > For example the wmparc_1mm files > I m not sure where is the problem! > Thank you > > > Maria Luisa Mandelli, PhD > Assistant Professional Researcher > > University of California, San Francisco > 675 Nelson Rising Lane, Suite 190 | San Francisco, CA 94158 > > Language Neurobiology Lab > http://albalab.ucsf.edu/ > Memory and Aging Center > http://memory.ucsf.edu/ > UCSF Dyslexia Center > http://dyslexia.ucsf.edu/ > > _______________________________________________ > HCP-Users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.humanconnectome.org/mailman/listinfo/hcp-users ________________________________ The materials in this message are private and may contain Protected Healthcare Information or other information of a sensitive nature.
