I was running

recon-all -base Sub1 -tp 00308 -tp 01150  -all

After a couple of minutes it gave me this error message.....

Any ideas how to fix this

Hi Brian,

when you use the longitudinal stream in FreeSurfer, it accounts for the
'relatedness' therefore the resulting information (e.g. segmentation
labels, volume measures, thickness measures, surface locations etc. )
will be more accurate (on average) than if you'd just process the
different time points independently (cross sectionally).

Comparing the results after FreeSurfer is through will work exactly the
same in both settings. You can compute what you are interested in (e.g.
percent volume loss in left hippocampus by looking into the aseg.stats ,
or percent cortical thinning) per subject and then do a group analysis
with your two groups.

Best, Martin
