Hello Neil,

Thank you again for taking the time to reply to me. I wouldn't have expected a development team to offer end-user advice, but I much appreciate it.

There are very nice people in this list. :-)


I have a small suggestion that might benefit other ddrescue users as
it would have benefited me:  Adding a command line option to enable
periodic sync() calls, to force the OS to flush its buffers.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Calling 'sync' may be too much. I think it would be better to 'fsync' also the mapfile when --synchronous is requested.

As always feedback is welcome. If nobody suggests anything better, I'll release a new version in a few days.


Best regards,
Antonio.
