Dear R Helpers, I would like to report on an error in the ff package here. The ff package is an R package which enables us to store large data on disk systematically and have fast access to the database. I used the package in Linux as a guest OS of VirtualBox, and executed the following commands.
library(ff) x<-ff(1:5,length=5,update=TRUE,vmode="double",filename="header.ff",overwrite=TRUE) Afterwards, I got the following error message. *** caught segfault *** address 0xffffffff, cause 'memory not mapped' Traceback: 1: .Call("get_vector", .ffmode[vmode], attr(x, "physical"), index, nreturn, PACKAGE = "ff") 2: `[.ff`(ret, 1) 3: ret[1] 4: as.vector(ret[1]) 5: identical(as.vector(initdata[1]), as.vector(ret[1])) 6: ff(1:5, length = 5, update = TRUE, vmode = "double", filename = "header.ff", overwrite = TRUE) Possible actions: 1: abort (with core dump, if enabled) 2: normal R exit 3: exit R without saving workspace 4: exit R saving workspace Selection: Can anyone give an advice to solve the problem?
