Hello William.

Where can I find any information about "--reopen-on-error" parameter?

In the manual distributed with ddrescue, of course. :-)

I have not added it to the online manual because this feature is experimental.


What does it do?

`-O'
`--reopen-on-error'
     Close the input file and then reopen it after every read error.
     Use this option if you notice a permanent drop in transfer rate
     after finding read errors. Most probably the drop is caused by a
     bug or misfeature in the kernel or in the device driver.


BTW, reports about the efficacy (or lack thereof) of this option are welcome.


Best regards,
Antonio.
