I am almost done running ddrescue on a 1.5 TB partition (just 0.2 more TB to go), and just discovered that the partition was mounted read-write. When I started ddrescue I thought that the partition was unmounted, and so I think that it got mounted somehow part-way through the rescue, but I have no idea how far along into the rescue that occurred. The online manual says not to try to rescue an r/w mounted, as the copy could be useless. So, my question is, what do I do now? Is the copy almost surely bad? If not, is there a practical way to check if it is ok. For instance, if I can read a handful of files, can I conclude that the copy is good? Or, should I just chuck it and start over?
Thanks in advance for your advice. Jay _______________________________________________ Bug-ddrescue mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-ddrescue
