hmm, didnt think of that. i can experiment on some lesser memory machines. thanks for the info. fyi, the gcut stage is not required, it only attempts additional 'trimming' of dura and surround skull that remains after mri_watershed, so adding -no-gcut to the end of recon-all is an acceptable wor

is anything else running on the machine? Maybe some other process was taking a bunch of memory while the gcut was running? On Mon, 24 Jan 2011, Nick Schmansky wrote: > confirm that both T1.mgz and brainmask.auto.mgz a decent images (via > tkmedit). if they are good, then the gcut stage can be
