There was a problem hiding this comment.
use relative path here:
from ... import config
and use config directly. no need to initialize NipypeConfig

Nice! |

@hjmjohnson - could we please add this to the CHANGES file? |
|
also add config option to config.rst |
In many cases on Unix, the data sink is on the same physical drive as the internal nipype cache. In that case, we can use a hard link to save both time necessary to duplicate data, and space necesssary to hold the same data at two different inodes. This allows removal of the cache directory without modifying the results directory. In large analysis, this optimization can save several terabytes of storage consumption.
