Patrick,
I cannot reproduce this behaviour. I'm using:
Windows 8.1; R 3.5.1; RStudio 1.1.463
running in a VirtualBox on Ubuntu 18.04 with R 3.4.4; RStudio 1.1.456
The file size of rawData.rds is always 88 bytes in my example and od
gives the same results on Windows and Linux.
I am using a VirtualBox shared folder to transfer from Windows to Linux.
Could you provide details of your machines?
Rgds,
Robert

From a Windows R session, I do

31736 bytes # from scraping a non-reproducible web address.
saveRDS(rawData, file = "rawData.rds")
Then copy to a Linux session
rawData <- readRDS(file = "rawData.rds")
rawData
[1] "rawData"
object.size(rawData)
112 bytes
rawData
[1] "rawData" # only the name and something to make up 112 bytes
Have I misunderstood the syntax?
It's an old version on Windows. I haven't used Windows R since then.

I've tried R-3.5.0 and R-3.5.1 Linux versions.
In case it's material ...
I couldn't get the scraping to work on either of the R installations
but Windows users told me it worked for them. So I thought I'd get
the R object and use it. I could understand accessing the web address
could have different permissions for different OSes, but should that
affect the R objects?
TIA
