Hello Valerio,

first of all, thanks for GNU ddrescue, it recover almost all my 160 GB

You are welcome, and good luck with the retries. :-)


In case of a know file system type, but almost all use block size of
4096, can be useful to output the list of badblock only.
This list should be in a format suitable for commands like:
e2fsck -vf -L badblocklist.txt /dev/sdaX
so one block number per line, in decimal format, like the output of
badblocks.
The block size should be a parameter to ddrescue, when this output list
is requested, to output the correct block number (like badblocks -b).
4096 can be the default.

This seems indeed an useful feature. I am thinking about adding a companion program to ddrescue (ddrescuelog ?) for non-rescue tasks, mostly logfile-related, like this. What do you think?


Best regards,
Antonio.
