Issue
- After uploading a LAR file, a message "The file <filename>.lar cannot be imported: Unable to write temporary file" is displayed
Environment
- DXP 7.3, DXP 7.4, Quarterly Releases
Resolution
- Liferay requires to create temporary files in the filesystem when uploading files.

- The LAR files are also unziped in the temporary folder.
- The solution is to increase the available space of the file system to more than double the size of the imported LAR file.
