Did this patch make it into the regular build of ddrscue yet or will it soon be integrated? What is the advantage of direct-mode over using raw devices? What are the differences between those methods anyway? Why is the direct-mode not used on the first run but on the rerun in all examples? BTW: in Darwin and Mac OS X the raw devices are created automatically and can be accessed simply by adding "r" at the beginning of the device-identifier, e.g.: /dev/rdisk2 or /dev/rdisk0s6 Greetings, Florian Sedivy -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Patch-to-support--d-on-Darwin-and-Mac-OS-X-tf4339179.html#a13595006 Sent from the Gnu - ddrescue mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Bug-ddrescue mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-ddrescue
