Hi all,

So I've somehow gotten my R installation in a bad state. I had been using R 3.3.2 / BioC 3.4, last installed/updated likely in late November and everything was fine. I decided to upgrade packages again using biocLite(); I thought I had closed all R other sessions and didn't have any packages loaded when I did this, but I must not have because I got lots of warnings about "unable to write to folder XXX", then the packages were unable to load. I've had this happen before and the fix has been to go manually delete the package folders from my R library, then reinstall. This seemed to work, but the next time I loaded affycoretools, I got a warning message about "vfs customization not available on this platform. Ignoring value: vfs = unix-none". I shrugged and went on. The first problem I noticed was when I tried to call plotPCA on a matrix and got the error "Error in (function (classes, fdef, mtable)  :  unable to find an inherited method for function 'plotPCA' for signature '"matrix"'. The same code was working fine with affycoretools 1.46.1 but after upgrading to 1.46.3 it wasn't. I don't mean to pick on affycoretools (sorry, Jim!) because I get the same warning about "vfs customization" when installing .db annotation packages (full output below), so it must be system wide.

I've even gone as far as deleting all versions of R from my computer (I only had 3.3.2 and Devel),  all personal libraries, deleting my Rtools installation, everything from my path variable and even Rstudio. I also googled ""vfs customization not available on this platform" but didn't find anything useful. The outputs below are from a fresh install of R 3.3.2. Anybody have any idea of what is wrong and how I can fix it?

Thanks,

Jenny

# The first part of the output is here, but the full output makes the message too long, so I'll post the rest separately...

The error from affycoretools has to do with a conversion I made in plotPCA to using S4 methods, in which I forgot to include a method for matrix objects. That's fixed now, but doesn't yet appear to have propagated through the build servers yet.

As for the warnings, this was introduced by Herve recently, and backed out in devel, but not yet on release:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r125890 | hpages@fhcrc.org | 2017-01-11 18:21:51 -0800 (Wed, 11 Jan 2017) | 11 lines

   A /branches/RELEASE_3_4/madman/Rpacks/AnnotationDbi/R/utils.R (from /trunk/madman/Rpacks/AnnotationDbi/R/utils.R:125889)

Use 'vsf="unix-none"' when calling dbConnect() to connect to the db contained
in our SQLite-based annotation data packages (e.g. OrgDb, ChipDb, TxDb etc...
packages). This is to avoid the infamous "database is locked" error that some
users have reported on a few occasions in the past 10 years (and that we were
never able to reproduce). This was reported again recently by Rob Bradley at
Fred Hutch. Rob was trying to access TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene from
multiple nodes on the Hutch cluster where TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene is
installed on an NFS file system. Many thanks to Ben McGough, System Administra-
tor at the Hutch, for investigating this and suggesting the 'vsf="unix-none"'
solution!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

In devel we have an additional commit:

I think these are just irritating warnings, rather than something you need to worry about.

Ha! So the problem was with affycoretools :P I’ll be patient and wait for the next upgrade to become available. Thanks, Jim! From: James W.

That's fixed now, but doesn't yet appear to have propagated through the build servers yet. As for the warnings, this was introduced by Herve recently, and backed out in devel, but not yet on release: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r125890 | hpages@fhcrc.org<mailto:hpages@fhcrc.org> | 2017-01-11 18:21:51 -0800 (Wed, 11 Jan 2017) | 11 lines Changed paths: M /branches/RELEASE_3_4/madman/Rpacks/AnnotationDbi/DESCRIPTION M /branches/RELEASE_3_4/madman/Rpacks/AnnotationDbi/R/AnnDbPkg-templates-common.R M /branches/RELEASE_3_4/madman/Rpacks/AnnotationDbi/R/loadDb.R A /branches/RELEASE_3_4/madman/Rpacks/AnnotationDbi/R/utils.R (from /trunk/madman/Rpacks/AnnotationDbi/R/utils.R:125889) Use 'vsf="unix-none"' when calling dbConnect() to connect to the db contained in our SQLite-based annotation data packages (e.g. OrgDb, ChipDb, TxDb etc... packages). This is to avoid the infamous "database is locked" error that some users have reported on a few occasions in the past 10 years (and that we were never able to reproduce). This was reported again recently by Rob Bradley at Fred Hutch. Rob was trying to access TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene from multiple nodes on the Hutch cluster where TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene is installed on an NFS file system. Many thanks to Ben McGough, System Administra- tor at the Hutch, for investigating this and suggesting the 'vsf="unix-none"' solution! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In devel we have an additional commit: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r126087 | hpages@fhcrc.org<mailto:hpages@fhcrc.org> | 2017-01-22 23:16:08 -0800 (Sun, 22 Jan 2017) | 1 line Changed paths: M /trunk/madman/Rpacks/AnnotationDbi/R/utils.R don't use 'vsf="unix-none"' on Windows ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I think these are just irritating warnings, rather than something you need to worry about. ________________________________ Post tags: affycoretools You may reply via email or visit A: Problem after upgrading from affycoretools 1.46.1 to 1.46.3; "vfs customization
