rar extraction failing

0

When I try to extract a file using rar it is outputting failed on random files.

My command:

unrar x arma.rar

What is causing this problem?

OS is Ubuntu 12.04

Edit - it is also happening on different rar files as well as a rar file that I created myself.

1Is this for every .rar file you try, or only for the one you specified? Try to make a .rar file with >3 files yourself, and see if that works. – Jeroen Baert – 2013-04-14T18:25:44.580

Sorry made a mistake, it's not happening consistently with every third file. Files are failing with other rar files as well, not just this one, including one I rar'd myself. – Colin747 – 2013-04-14T18:31:49.763

If you're sure the archives aren't corrupted I recommend you start by testing your HDD and RAM. – Karan – 2013-04-15T16:16:05.053
