So I have a failing 500gb seagate drive. SMART is reporting bad, and its time to get the files off. Nothing SUPER important, but things I wouldnt rather not have to hunt down and find again.
I try to copy it through windows, it freezes up on a bunch of different files, no luck. So I get into ubuntu remix with ddrescue built in, follow the instructions and start the backup. 500gb seagate > 1tb WD At some point in the copying, it errors out with the input/output error and just stops. I ran the command again (not at my computer at home, so I cant find the exact command that I used), and it picks up where it left off - but then eventually errors out again. I assume this is because the drive is just taking a massive dump and cant handle being connected. Is there some command arguement that I can put in that will allow it to just KEEP trying or ignore it and move on? Ive looked around but nothing seems to be pointing in that direction. If you dont feel like spoonfeeding me info, find me a website that has how to fix the error and link me - that way I can read and learn. I dont like just having people TELL me answer unless I cant find them. Thanks to all! Heres to a successful recovery! -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/ddrescue-input-output-error-tp35610796p35610796.html Sent from the Gnu - ddrescue mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Bug-ddrescue mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-ddrescue
