Featured Replies

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know if someone know how to unrar from command prompt under Unraid 7.0.0-rc.2, since NerdTools aren't available (hopefully yet).

 

Thanks in advance.

For what file type ?rar 7z tar gz ...

unzip is installed by default...

 

example
unzip filename.zip -d /path/to/extract/

Replace filename.zip with the name of your file.

Replace /path/to/extract/ with the destination folder.

3rd party app install:
https://pkgs.org/search/?q=unrar
 

cd /boot/extra
wget https://slackers.it/repository/slackware64-current/unrar/unrar-7.1.2-x86_64-1cf.txz


?Unrar Files

unrar x filename.rar

 

example
unrar x filename.rar /path/to/extract/

Replace filename.rar with the name of your RAR file.

Replace /path/to/extract/ with your desired directory.

I used rar rc to recompile rar from .rev files, do you know how to do this too?
Thanks in advance.

to be honest the .rev file extension is new to me. Let me take a deeper look into that file extension. 

 

That appears to be a extended rar compression for muti-volumes.

https://fileinfo.com/extension/rev

 

generic commands:

 

Navigate to the Directory: Go to the folder containing the .rar and .rev files

 

Verify the Archive: Use the following command to check the integrity of the .rar file and detect if any parts are missing or corrupted

unrar t archive.rar
 

Repair the Archive Using .rev Files: If the .rar files are damaged or incomplete, use the .rev files to reconstruct or repair the archive

unrar r archive.rar

*The r flag tells unrar to repair the archive using the available recovery volumes (.rev files).

 

Extract the Files

unrar x archive.rar
