Hello, I was wondering, has anyone attempted to patch ddrescue to take advantage of multi-threading? I found a couple of threads in the mailing list that suggest something like this.
Dave Yost suggests using multiple threads to read the data concurrently: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ddrescue/2005-09/msg00001.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ddrescue/2005-09/msg00002.html Antonio Diaz suggests that a separate thread to update the command line indicator would make it appear more responsive: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ddrescue/2007-11/msg00010.html But I couldn't find any further work done in this direction, so I thought I'd take this up as a little experimental project. Are there potential roadblocks? How exactly would multi-threading harm "portability"? -- Emaad Ahmed Manzoor _______________________________________________ Bug-ddrescue mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-ddrescue
