I created a .rar archive with the -v option, so it was split into several filename.part0X.rar files. Now I need to add some new files to the archive from a subdirectory, but the command fails. I tried with:

rar a -r -t -v1024000k -m5 filename.part09.rar *dir_path*

but got the error:

ERROR: Cannot modify volume
Program aborted

I also tried with rar u, instead of rar a, but nothing changed.

Where am I wrong?

    Read man rar, especially the -en switch, and the caveat about volumes. The last volume contains special data used in reconstructing the archive. You must rebuild the archive, then add the file. – waltinator May 16 '21 at 16:20
