Hi Fengji, Sorry for the late reply; I was on vacation and totally missed your question. The hippocampal subfield module uses /scratch to create temporary files if available. If not, it creates a directory under the tmp directory inside the subject directory. It was coded this way because in our system, because of the way the cluster is setup, writing to /scratch is way more efficient. For now, the only thing you can do is to enable writing permissions on /scratch, or deleting /scratch. For the future: maybe we should remove the /scratch check and go to the subject's tmp directory directly (Zeke, Nick, what do you think?) Cheers, Eugenio

Could anyone help with the question? Thank you! ----- Fengji From: Fengji Geng Sent: Thursday, January 07, 2016 8:15 AM To: freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] FW: problem with hard coded directory (/scratch) Hi Douglas, You asked us to give you an example of the problem program. I will try to do it here, but if it is not what you want, please let me know. we ran recon-all -all -s <subject_name> -hippocampal-subfields-T1T2 <file name of additional scan> <analysisID>. We saw the program tried to create /scratch/$subject_hippoSF_T1_v10_right directory and failing with (Read-only file system) because the user does not have permission to write to /scratch. I can also send you the strace output if needed. Thank you! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 4 Date: Mon, 4 Jan 2016 13:37:48 -0500 From: Douglas N Greve <gr...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] FW: problem with hard coded directory (/scratch) To: freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu Message-ID: <568abbfc.5000...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed Can you give us specific examples of problem programs?
