SABnzbd Forums

Hi,

Suddenly as of this afternoon, all my downloads result in "At least one file failed to be unpacked, skipping" in the Plush webinterface.
If I go into the directory and "unrar x ...", everything is unrarred OK.

Is SAB using another rar then the onboard /usr/bin/unrar?

Specs: SABnzbd 0.4.5 as a daemon on Ubuntu 8.10.

I've seen http://forums.sabnzbd.org/index.php?topic=1233.0, but my harddisk has 15GB free, so I guess that's not the problem.

I'll reboot to see if that changes anything.

First result: running SABnzbd 0.4.5 from the commandline (and not as a daemon), results in ... a succesful unrar and unpack ... . Strange.

Does it unpack at all?

The last person reporting such an error had a defective ionice installed.
(ionice is used since 0.4.5)

This is the command used (assuming nice and ionice are available). Have you looked in the logging?
It should give you a clue about which file is "missing" and why.

I did a reboot, and now the unrars/unpacks work OK ...

I'll check the laptop about ionice...

I must say that I have had connected an external USB hard drive drive for the last few days, and that I've configured SAB to save completed downloades onto that USB drive. The drive was connected during the download & unpack, but still the root cause might be there ...

And: the incomplete-directory was on a different harddisk than the complete-directory. Maybe that caused a problem too ...
