So far I'm quite impressed by ddrescue - it's really a nice approach at recovering data from a broken/dying hard disk, thank your for writing it
You are welcome. :-)
About my suggestion (sorry for writing that much, but I apparently am unable to explain it in less words):
I like detailed explanations. :-)
It would be really great if there was a way to influence this behavior so that e.g. sectors that prove to be slow when reading them (e.g. reading 64KiB takes more than 5 ms) will also cause ddrescue to skip x MByte of data in the first pass.
It is already planned to implement such a feature. I have been unable to work on this until now, but I expect it to be done in a few weeks. Please, read this message[1] and write back any comments you have.
