Two questions, what can I do to try and hone in on the errsize: 48523
MB on 1st Run below? I've got my log file, but i'm not sure what i'm
supposed to do that. I've found no (*) it. I took this to mean that
ddrescue skipped huge portions of data.
For my second run, i've reduced the cluster size from the default 128
to 10. I'm not sure the result of this yet, though.
Lastly, how do you know where to focus your efforts using --input-
position=500MB switch? Do you choose this arbitrarily or what?
1st Run:
ddrescue -v -n -d /dev/sdc3 ~zwilson/sdc3.img ~zwilson/
sdc3_ddrescue.log &
