I'm running ddrescue 1.9 to rescue a dvd.
It's been running for 10 days!
>From in info pages, first I did:
ddrescue -n -v -b2048 /dev/dvd quark.iso logfile
About to copy 7782 MBytes from /dev/dvd to quark.iso
Starting positions: infile = 0 B, outfile = 0 B
Copy block size: 32 hard blocks
Hard block size: 2048 bytes
Max_retries: 0
Direct: no Sparse: no Split: no Truncate: no
Press Ctrl-C to interrupt
Initial status (read from logfile)
rescued: 0 B, errsize: 8980 kB, errors: 1
Current status
rescued: 0 B, errsize: 7782 MB, current rate: 0 B/s
ipos: 69632 B, errors: 1, average rate: 0 B/s
opos: 69632 B
Finished
That took about an hour.
Then:
ddrescue -d -v -b2048 /dev/dvd quark.iso logfile
About to copy 7782 MBytes from /dev/dvd to quark.iso
Starting positions: infile = 0 B, outfile = 0 B
Copy block size: 32 hard blocks
Hard block size: 2048 bytes
Max_retries: 0
Direct: yes Sparse: no Split: yes Truncate: no
Press Ctrl-C to interrupt
Initial status (read from logfile)
rescued: 0 B, errsize: 7782 MB, errors: 1
Current status
rescued: 0 B, errsize: 7782 MB, current rate: 0 B/s
ipos: 226940 kB, errors: 1, average rate: 0 B/s
opos: 226940 kB
Splitting error areas...
This has been running for 10 days. logfile is now up to 6MB. AFAIC,
ipos/opos keeps going up to 7782 MB, then starts over.
Is this what I should expect? Did I do something wrong?
