Well, after all that, the drive will no longer function at all, after only getting about 45% of the content off it, which is not enough to reconstruct any kind of a file system. Alas. We'll take it to the apple store, to see if they have any magic tricks I don't know.
One more Tip: If your drive is starting to fail, it will eventually completely fail. Before using ddrescue to try to clone it, use pax to copy everything you can (pax -rwv is like cp -R, except it handles errors more gracefully). Once you are sure you've gotten all the intact files, then switch to ddrescue for a chance to get everything else, if you are lucky enough to not have a complete drive meltdown. Reading tens of gigs from a drive that is failing is probably going to push it past it's limits. -Joshua -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Mac-OS-X-Tips-tp15109010p15119309.html 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
