SUMMARY Ark wasn't able to extract a file sized 6Go, from a rar archive, multipart (6 parts). I cannot determine if the issue is due to the size of the file, or the fact that it's multiple parts archive. I get a message that there is not enough disk space, when there is obviously more than enough space. In the same situation, extracting the same archive to the same directory with another software (b1freearchiver) works fine and the extracted file is complete. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open on of the six RAR parts with Ark. 2. Try to extract to the local directory or any other one. OBSERVED RESULT Message "Extracting failed, make sure there is enough space on disk". No file extracted. EXPECTED RESULT Extraction of the file. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 20.04 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.12.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Extracting was succesful with b1freearchiver 1.5.86.4890 The rar archive didn't have any password. Ark doesn't crash, just sends the error message.
I have a multipart (2 parts) RAR archive, sized around 200 MB, and I can extract it successfully using Ark with RAR or Unarchiver plugin. 1. Can you extract the file using "unrar x your_file.part1.rar"? (RAR) 2. Can you extract the file using "unar your_file.part1.rar"? (The Unarchiver)
