Feature request: Force logfile usage.
Please make ddrescue throw an error and exit unless either a logfile has
been specified, or a flag confirming no use of a logfile has been used.
I have added a warning to the manual stating how important the logfile
is. Forcing its use seems a little radical to me.
I'm also curious why I'm only getting 5 megabytes per second between a pair
of drives on an SATA I (150 megabytes per second) controller. I'm using
-n, and -c 100000. And I've had 131kB of (3) errors out of 225782MB
so far.
5 MB/s is not a bad sustained speed for a copy from a failing drive.
Yesterday for example, an user reported a speed of about 1 MB/s
The -c option can't increase the speed beyond certain limit. In fact you
are using a very big value that forces ddrescue to allocate a 52 MiB buffer.
It would also be nice if ddrescue started where it left off in the absence
of a logfile.
It would be nice, but how can it be done reliably?
Regards,
Antonio.
