Hi! I'm running ddrescue 1.11 on Ubuntu 10.10 Linux to recover data from a dying 160GB hard drive.
The process has been running non-stop for about 65 hours now and has been in the "Splitting failed blocks" phase for about the past 12 hours or so. I have no idea how long it will take for the process to finish but I'm wondering if I can safely cancel it to access the data that has already been recovered. Is this possible? I'm recovering the data from the bad hard drive to a good hard drive which is connected to the system using a USB external hard drive enclosure. This is sample status output: t...@deathstar:~$ !507 sudo ddrescue /dev/sdc /dev/sdh nawanna-rescue.log Press Ctrl-C to interrupt Initial status (read from logfile) rescued: 0 B, errsize: 0 B, errors: 0 Current status rescued: 159820 MB, errsize: 221 MB, current rate: 0 B/s rescued: 159828 MB, errsize: 213 MB, current rate: 0 B/s ipos: 156842 MB, errors: 971, average rate: 723 kB/s opos: 156842 MB, time from last successful read: 9.9 m Splitting failed blocks... Given how close to 160GB the process seems to be, I don't want to cancel it but it's been "this close" for the past 12 hours, at least. Can I safely cancel the process or should I just let it run? Thanks! Peace... Tom
