Dear list, First of all, thanks a lot for your work, which saved already 10 % of the data of a friend of mine.
Now ddrescue goes through an error-rich zone and progresses very slowly. I wanted to stop it to try to bypass the zone, as suggested in an italian newsgroup: http://groups.google.it/group/lugge/browse_thread/thread/39fb350d66abed56/38530b4d8a245c05 However, Crtl-C, or even sudo killall -9 ddrescue do not manage to stop ddrescue when it faces errors such as: sd 4:0:0:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x8000002 sdb: Current: sense key: Medium Error Additional sense: Unrecovered read error Info fld=0x0 end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 3655885 Buffer I/O error on device sdb, logical block 3655885 sd 4:0:0:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x8000002 sdb: Current: sense key: Medium Error Additional sense: Unrecovered read error Info fld=0x0 end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 3655886 Buffer I/O error on device sdb, logical block 3655886 Is it a bug or is it unavoidable? I do not feel like going for a trial-and-error approach if I have to reboot the computer at each attempt :( Anyway, thanks again for the 10 % already rescued, it is much better than the "it is impossible" statement from the vendor. PS : will it finish to kill the drive if I let the process runing a whole day?
