Hello Christian,

Of course ddrescue cannot work if input_position is greater than input file size. Just remember that in fill mode the input file is the file from which the fill data is read.

Try this:
# ddrescue -i 10000000b -s 2000000b -o 0 bad_disk file.img file.log
# ddrescue -F - fill_file file.img file.log


The -i is necessary, because ddrescue records the original physical offsets in the logfile.

The -i is needed only if you want to read the fill file from a given position.


Hmm...would it make sense the store the input/output_position offset in the logfile also?

And what is ddrescue supposed to do with them?


Regards,
Antonio.
