The problem is that at some point the disk fails so that the system cannot see the disk any more so i have to shutdown the computer completely to regain access to the disk to continue. The improvment that i request is for ddrescue to stop when a disk fails like this insted of continuing marking sectors as tryed runing quickly over the rest of the disk...
Ddrescue stops instantly if the drive disappears from /dev. If it simply returns a read error, ddrescue can't know if the drive has failed fatally.
Try this and, if needed, increment the argument to -e after each reboot: ddrescue -e0 -RT /dev/[source] /dev/[target] rescue.log Best regards, Antonio. _______________________________________________ Bug-ddrescue mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-ddrescue
