Now ddrescue just says "Splitting error areas" for many hours... sorry I can't find any info about this in the documentation!
It is explained in the ddrescue.info file: (note the point 3 below) ------------------------------------------------------------------ The algorithm of ddrescue is as follows: 1) Optionally read a logfile describing the status of a multi-part or previously interrupted rescue. 2) Read the non-damaged parts of the input file, skipping the damaged areas, until the requested size is reached, or until interrupted by the user. 3) Try to read the damaged areas, splitting them into smaller pieces and reading the non-damaged pieces, until the hardware block size is reached, or until interrupted by the user. 4) Try to read the damaged hardware blocks until the specified number of retries is reached, or until interrupted by the user. 5) Optionally write a logfile for later use. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Regards, Antonio. _______________________________________________ Bug-ddrescue mailing list Bug-ddrescue@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-ddrescue
