Hi Satra,
that was really helpful... I patched 5.3.0, made a full run of recon-all with 
strace and wrote a little tool that checks which files must actually be part of 
the archive. 

I can confirm your file list, but there is a problem with fsaverage (you have 
already expressed your concerns) because some files are missing. Have a look to 
my subsequent list. I post here the minimum content of the freesurfer archive 
for getting recon-all -all running. I am currently testing the version in my 
cloud using Ubuntu 14.04 (x86_64) and Ubuntu 14.10 (x86_64).

hi jens,
 
here is the post - the links were all broken, but i've updated them below. note 
that this run was from nov 2013. i would recommend doing a run with all the 
current patches installed.

an update on the files needed for a vanilla recon-all run (evaluation done 
using cde:http://www.pgbovine.net/cde.html):
 
freesurfer files: 
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ei3m9dcvq8zemps/fslist.txt?dl=0[https://www.dropbox.com/s/ei3m9dcvq8zemps/fslist.txt?dl=0]
all files (fs + system+ output):

size of fs components (641M): 
https://www.dropbox.com/s/mmcadnp63ao4dv8/size.txt?dl=0[https://www.dropbox.com/s/mmcadnp63ao4dv8/size.txt?dl=0]
 
one thing that surprised me a bit was that no component of fsaverage appeared 
to be used (other than the directory being touched). this could be something 
the program missed, or is actually true.

cheers,

hi jens,
 
if you search the archives, there is a post that lists the minimal set of files 
needed for running recon-all.
 
i used a tool called cde to create it: 
http://www.pgbovine.net/cde.html[http://www.pgbovine.net/cde.html]
 
this reduces the archive down to about 650MB comprising binaries and atlases.
 
this wouldn't be for general purpose freesurfer processing, just for running 
recon-all. 
 

cheers,

satra

in the cloud, but it still takes some time (even in the local cloud network) to 
transfer the archive from the fileserver to the virtual machine and especially 
to untar that archive. A manual untar took nearly 20 minutes, that's too slow 
for on-demand provisioning. I think the "subjects" folder can be removed. It 
seems to contain only example mri data, but I want to make sure not to remove 
anything that is actually required for analysis purposes. I need a minimum 
archive file which is able to perform the pipeline execution.

Yes, we have a cloud portal, where different consumers can request the 
freesurfer service after uploading their mri raw files. The virtual machines 
are created and configured on the fly starting from a raw OS image. When the 
freesurfer run terminates the virtual machines are destroyed and the whole 
procedures starts again if someone requests a new freesurfer service (Create 
and start a virtual machine, transfer freesurfer archive, untar that archive, 
set environmement variables ...). We only want to parallelize different 
freesurfer jobs and not the freesurfer pipeline itself. We do not have a 
medical background.

Dear Jens,

I can offer just a bit of information and I also have a question.
We are using Fedora 11.0 on an x86_64 box and both the Centos 4 and Centos 6 
compiles work.
The package appears to be self-contained as I have seen no faults on failures 
to find shared libraries.
We simply untar freesurfer to a convenient location and set the PATH and 
FREESURFERHOME environment variables accordingly.
I see no reason why that shouldn't work in a cloud solution except that I do 
not know what you have in mind as a use for your solution.
Will there be a group of users who are provided access so that they can run 
freesurfer on an image data set through a portal to your cloud?
Are you using the cloud to distribute the calculation to many machines?
If so, what is the "granularity" of this, e.g. does one freesurfer run get one 
machine?

Regards,
 
Don
