Hi Julie,

I noticed that you were running recon-all with ‘-parallel’ flag. It is causing 
the error.

The process should work if you remove ‘-parallel’ from recon-all command.

Best,

Yujing

Hi Fsbuild team,

Thank you for your reply. Sorry for the confusion, my system was actually 
Linux, not Windows. It did not run on top of Windows (sorry again for the 
confusion).
In any case, I tried both the longitudinal pipeline FS v7.1.1 and v7.2 
consistently on Linux. I also used two different machines (our institute server 
as well as ComputeCanada, hence I do not believe it's a memory issue). Each run 
got stuck at the -Sphere x.long.x step as indicated in my previous email. 
Interestingly, I tried today with the longitudinal FS v6.0.0 (kept all the rest 
the same) and it ran fine! Could there be any bug in the v7 series for 
longitudinal processing that was not present in the v6 series? I tried on two 
different types of input T1w data acquired from different centers and they 
point to the same issue => -Sphere error in x.long.x for v7 , while it runs 
fine for v6. Please see attached log files and screenshots for both.

I am also thinking if it would be ok to run the longitudinal with v6 since we 
ran the baseline data with v7.2. Could you please advise on this?

Last, I was wondering if there is a way to receive more detailed log/error 
files? As indicated from my previous email and screenshots, the code just 
exited at Sphere but did not indicate why it went wrong there.

Thank you for your help!
Best regards
Julie

One way we’ve seen recon-all eventually fail running on Linux hosted on Windows 
is whatever is virtualizing Linux to run on top of the Windows OS - simply runs 
out of memory at some point in the processing pipeline.  That can result in a 
message in the recon-all.log like a file was not found, i.e., a computation 
fails and the results are not saved in a file that later on is expected to be 
found, opened and read.  I don’t see messages like that in your log.

It might be helpful to know more about how you are running Linux on windows, 
e.g., if you are using the built-in Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) or using 
a VM running on something like VirtualBox.

You could also send along the output in the linux terminal from:
$ cat /etc/os-release
$ cat $FREESURFER_HOME/build-stamp.txt

- R.
