Hi Xiaofu - As I said earlier, it is impossible for us to troubleshoot
problems with every single type of cluster, especially a type we don't
have. You'll have to troubleshoot it with your cluster admin, or try to
run bedpostx on a stand-alone computer. About your other questions:
1. Currently there is no option to have a different set of b-values for
each subject. Are you using a different scanning protocol for different
subjects?
2. The fact that you mention the nb0 variable tells me that you don't have
the latest version of freesurfer. It is highly recommended that you run
tracula from the 5.3 version of freesurfer, after also downloading the
tracula update posted here:
http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/Tracula#Updates
In the newer version, there is no nb0 variable, the program figures it out
from the b-value file. But again, it is not ideal to have a different
number of b=0 images for each subject.

Dear Anastasia,
Thanks for your answer. I tried to replace 'bedpostx_mgh' with 'bedpostx'
in the shell file 'tract-all' in order to run Tracula in the C2B2 server
(Titan cluster). But it failed as well. Is there anyway to run Tracula,
i.e., by pass the running error of bedpostx_mgh?
Besides, I have two more questions when I set up a configuration file.
1) In the step9 of Tracula tutorial
(https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/Tracula), i.e.,
Specify the b-value table, I can only set bvalfile to specify the location
of the b-value table. Can I specify a different b value file for each of the
scans in the study (with bvallist,for example) besides a single b value file
for all scans in the study (with bvalfile).
2) About the number of low-b images.
Since I will use 4D nifty images instead of raw DICOMs, I need to set
the number of low-b images in the configuration file, i.e., set nb0. Can I
specify a different nb0 value for each of the scans in the study (with
nb0list,for example) besides a single nb0 value for all scans in the study.
Best,
Xiaofu

Hi Xiaofu - The bedpostx program is not configured to run on any
type of cluster with any type of queueing software. It was
originally written to be run on an SGE cluster with specific
queue names. The bedpostx_mgh is a modified version that also
works on our PBS cluster. Making it work on additional clusters
would require additional tweaks, and it's impossible for us to
make it work on everyone's cluster.
In a future version, I'd like to give the option to simply print
out all the necessary commands, and then it would be up to the
user to figure out how to submit them as jobs on their own
cluster. This is not implemented yet.
