If only bad blocks are going to be reported as errors, then ddrescue needs to report the non-trimmed and non-scraped blocks as well so the user can tell what is happening. I personally consider this something major and would suggest that you change it back until the extra error reporting can be added. That is just my opinion, but I feel it is worth voicing strongly.I agree with this and would like to add my voice behind it as well. I do understand the original intent but have found the same as Scott. That said, it's probably a good thing, as it'll be nice to have a breakdown on the non-trimmed/scraped stats (for now I concurrently run ddrescueview along side usually to get a deeper perspective of what's happening ).
I'm glad you reported this, but I would be a lot more glad if you had reported it six months ago when this change was introduced in 1.20-pre1. ;-)
About "changing it back", it is not possible because 'errsize' is currently used, for example, to calculate the remaining time.
I'll try to release 1.21-pre1 ASAP. I hope this time someone tests it. Best regards, Antonio. _______________________________________________ Bug-ddrescue mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-ddrescue
