Description darkxst 2015-03-31 21:47:56 UTC 
File-roller can no longer handle multi volume rar archives. When opening one of these only files from the first volume are shown in the UI and then when trying to extract there is a message:
  "An error occured while extracting files, Truncated RAR data"

This was working in 3.14, so I suppose its related to the switch to libarchive. libarchive itself does look like it has support for multi volume archives

Confirming issue on my system as well.
Archlinux with latest 3.16.1-1 file roller application.
Comment 2 Michael Tunnell 2015-04-22 14:19:11 UTC 
Additional Confirmation
I have also experienced this issue with file-roller 3.16 on Arch.
Comment 3 GP 2015-05-29 05:17:05 UTC 
I experience the same issue. Fedora 22, GNOME 3.16.2, with Archive Manager 3.16.2.
Comment 4 region51 2015-06-28 19:57:44 UTC 
Also experiencing the same issue - Fedora 22, GNOME 3.16.2, with Archive Manager 3.16.2.
Comment 5 Igor Gnatenko 2015-06-28 20:23:07 UTC 
I can't reproduce it with file-roller-3.16.2-2.fc23.x86_64, libarchive-3.1.2-13.fc23.x86_64 with multi volume rar archive which I created some minutes ago.

Please provide example files and versions of file-roller and libarchive.

Comment 8 Igor Gnatenko 2015-06-29 09:09:51 UTC 
Thanks for reporting. This is bug not in file-roller, it's bug in libarchive. It handles archive.rar.XXX, but won't handle archive.partXXX.rar

Comment 9 Paolo Bacchilega 2015-06-30 15:04:46 UTC 
version 3.16.3 should fix this problem if you have rar or unrar installed.
