I was seeing "Device not ready" for the disk I am writing my log and image to. Looks like TimeMachine fired off. I also disabled spotlight for the volume I an writing to.
It does seem to have cleared but when I press "Enter" it doesn't start up again. I did Q+Enter and then tried to startup again and got: ddrescue: Write error: Invalid argument mac:ddrescue-1.19 jn$ sudo ./ddrescue -v /dev/rdisk3s2 /Volumes/RecoveryDisk/MHD.dmg /Volumes/RecoveryDisk/MHD.log Password:xxxxxxxxxxxx ddrescue: error in logfile /Volumes/RecoveryDisk/MHD.log, line 0. mac:ddrescue-1.19 jn$ Looks like my log is hosed. The disk I am writing to is a 1 TB with plenty of space and it's showing up fine.
