[R] Erro: cannot allocate vector of size 216.0 Mb

[jim holtman]

What is "huge"? How big is it and what are the commands you are trying
to use?  Have you tried a smaller size to see how much memory is being
used (do a 'gc' before and after).  Depending on what you are trying
to do, you may have memory fragmented.  What are the sizes of all the
other objects that you have in memory?  Exactly what is your
configuration.  Some more information is need to understand why you
are getting that error.  It typically means what it says; you do not
have enough memory to allocate the object of that size.
