Dear list,
I've had difficulty saving my workspace to an .RData file. This causes considerable frustration as it means that I have to regenerate my analysis every time I want to update it. For microarray data in particular, this can be quite time consuming.
I'm saving my data to a network folder on my system in Windows XP, something like an "H:\" drive or a "P:\" drive instead of a "C:\" drive.
Here is the command which saves my workspace to my working directory: save.image("H:/Consulting/cmlExprA.RData") And here is the error I get: Error in save(list = ls(envir = .GlobalEnv, all.names = TRUE), file = outfile,: error writing to connection
Any assistance?
To which we might add a simple test such as:
sink('H:/Consulting/test.txt') ; ls() ; sink()Which if it succeeds will eliminate some possible issues, and if it fails will eliminate others.
- Do you have write access?
- Is there enough space available?
- Any quota?
- Can you save on a local drive, say a temp directory?
- How big is the file size? ("microarray" make me assume it is huge, so is it > 2GB?, does the system support the file size?)
- What is the output of file.info("H:/Consulting/cmlExprA.RData") and file.info("H:/Consulting")
