I have added the option '--reset-slow' that implements this behavior. I 
hope this is what you want. You can find the modified version at

No, it just logs the start of each pass and the end of run. It is mainly 
for timing purposes.

Skipping the empty parts of the drive will have to wait until 1.23. I 
also will need more feedback about how should ddrescue decide if a block 
is empty.

Thank you very much for your donation.


Best regards,
Antonio.
