I can offer an immediate alternative solution that avoids
having to put more code in to ddrescue directly. I wrote a
small tool called 'waitfordevice' (wfd) which does exactly what
you want and gives you the option for filtering for serial
numbers / product codes;
http://ctpc.biz/wfd-0.3.tar.gz
tar zxvf wfd-0.3.tar.gz
cd wfd-0.3
make
The resulting 'waitfordevice' tool then should run and
give;
./waitfordevice -d <filename or device to monitor for> [-v] [-M
(print model)] [-S (print serial)] [-s <signature>] [-p
<polling time (milliseconds)>] [-r <retries>]
I use it in my recovery script templates like;
waitfordevice -p 1000 -r 240 -v -d /dev/sdc -s ST2000
Regards,
Paul.
