Hi Antonio,

You did a first pass from drive to drive with the option -g

--generate-logfile is so dangerous when not used correctly that it has
its owh chapter in the manual:
I have now literally donned my RTFM t-shirt, and will follow it. Thank
you for taking the time to answer and smacking me with the clue stick.
Currently I can live with this amount of data loss, however it looks
like the md superblock has not been copied over to the new disk,
although it is fine and readable on the old one, and I need that to
restore the array with the new disk.
If the destination drive had non-zero data in the place where the
superblock resides, ddrescue won't copy it (it thinks the superblock
is already copied).
The disk should have had no data, it was brand new. Regardless I'm
starting over with no --generate-logfile and I actually have an
identical disk now that I will use instead as well (also brand new).
Thank you!
Andreas
