[Bug-ddrescue] ddrescue

[Dave Yost]

What a wonderful tool!  Thank you!

I'm chugging through a 12GB partition using block size of 512, and 
it's taking a long time.

I wonder, are you doing a binary search to narrow down where the 
errors are, finally stopping when you've subdivided to the hard block 
size, or are you pushing ahead with 512-byte reads until you hit a 
read that doesn't return -1?

Before I found ddrescue, I wasted 2 days fixing dd to work better 
with disk recovery.
