par check problem

Just occasionally, sab will check the pars, confirm the set is ok, delete them, and then at the unpack stage return an error of 'no post-processing because of failed verification'. Extracting the rar set in 7zip will then go without any problems.
What could be causing this?

Carefully check the error messages.
Some NZB file contain files that do not belong to the actual download.
Say a spurious par2 file. In that case the file set belonging to that par2 file will fail,
hence SABnzbd will not do post-processing because one set failed.

It seems to be tripping up on the samples. Even if it was finding an error with the sample (or the par2 associated with the sample), I wouldn't have thought that would stop Sab processing the main par and rars as it usually can deal with multiple rar/par sets easily. It's also strange that it's showing the deleted pars together in the failed one (4 deleted, instead of 2 x 2 deleted).

One of the options in Config->Switches allow you to disable the "safe postprocessing" feature.

Ok, thanks. I'm sure that will be a decent workaround, but it seems to me there's an underlying bug somewhere. I've downloaded plenty of collections with multiple par/rar sets in the past and I've not noticed Sab stopping all rar processing because of single failed par check. Seems odd.

This is not a recent feature.
If the par2 sets are complete, there's no problem.
