Dear Mr. Antonio Diaz Diaz or To Whom It May Concern: I really appreciate all the time and care that you put into creating this very helpful utility. I used GNU ddrescue to recover most of the files onto a new hard disk, /dev/sdc (below). Following the instructions on the man page ( https://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/manual/ddrescue_manual.html#Fill-mode), I am attempting to use GNU ddrescue to fill the bad sectors in my recovered hard disk with a random string, "RMEUHEJB", that I have put into a tmpfile.
prashant@PS-desktop:~/Desktop$ printf "RMEUHEJB" > tmpfile prashant@PS-desktop:~/Desktop$ sudo ddrescue --fill-mode=l- tmpfile /dev/sdc rescue.JustPlusMinus.log *ddrescue: unrecognized option `--fill-mode=l-'* *Try `ddrescue --help' for more information.* I get the error above (emphasis added for clarity). I copied and pasted the command straight from the man page, only changing the target device and mapfile; so I don't think I made a mistake in the execution of the command. Can you please advise me? I really appreciate your help and prompt attention to this.
