Hi, there,

I have question about the  mris_volmask ERROR.

I ran multiple subjects on our SUN Grid Engine system. sometimes some subjects 
are sent to the same cluster node, and limited memory is assigned to each 
subject.
Because of this, I often met an ERROR at the   mris_volmask --label_left_white 
2 --label_left_ribbon 3 --label_right_white 41 --label_right_ribbon 42 
--save_ribbon --save_distance sub1 step 
in autorecon3., which gave me an error like:

ERROR: In /usr/pubsw/packages/vtk/5.2.0/src/Common/vtkMultiThreader.cxx, line 
372
vtkMultiThreader (0x33d05a90): Unable to create a thread.  pthread_create() 
returned 12

I knew this error is caused by some VTK function FS used to allocate memory. 
What I did is everytime when I met this kind of error, 
I use recon-all -s subj -autorecon3 -no-isrunning , and the process will 
finish. 

However,  I found if I did something like this, it will cause problems at the 
wm parcellation step. For example, I have the same subject which is sent to 
SGE, fails at mris_volmask, and then I call autorecon3 to finish the process, 
and I go to wmparc.stats, lotf of rois such as isthumus ctx-cingluate, 
ctx-posterior singulate are 0. 
While I ran the same subject at a local machine, and finished without any 
problems, I looked at isthumus cingluate and posterior singulate, they are not 
zeros. 

So, does it mean that I need start from beginning when I met the errors cause 
by mris_volmask?

Thanks a lot!
guang
