That is interesting, because that is not what I am seeing with the drive I
am working on at the moment.
Oops! You are right. In version 1.14 ddrescue stopped marking as
bad-sector the first sector of a failed multi-sector read because the
kernel seems to return a total failure if some of the sectors are indeed
bad.
Now I have another interesting decision to make; should ddrescue try
first the (possibly many) non-split areas adjacent to good areas, or the
larger non-split areas flanked by bad sectors (if there is any)?

Antonio.
