Issue creating symbolic links when running fastsurfer-gpu.sif about fastsurfer

[dkuegler]

This operation creates a symbolic link in the mri subfolder. Most likely you are using a file system that does not support soft links?

Can you maybe check whether you can create the symbolic link from the terminal? Because this command should really do the same thing inside singularity as on the terminal...
Talking about ln -sf orig.mgz rawavg.mgz here.

You are right, the file system in that drive doesn't allow soft links. Thank you!

Maybe we can check if soft links work in our code and if not create copies ? (in a future release)

Can you tell us, which file system you used that was affected?

Sure. The drive is mounted with:

UUID=6387-4CBD /mnt/wsdata exfat defaults,uid=1000,gid=1006,umask=0002 0

Hopefully, #473 fixes similar issues in the future. I am going to close this issue for now, feel free to reopen if there are additional comments.
