I am planning to make ddrescue 1.22-pre6 show the number of read errors and slow reads, and maybe replace '--exit-on-error' with '--max-read-errors=<n>', and '--exit-on-slow' with '--max-slow-reads=<n>'. This should increase flexibility and prevent ddrescue from exiting because of a glitch.

Sounds like an acceptable change. Are you going to retain the old long options for compatibility implying a default value of 1, or just drop them entirely? (ie, --exit-on-error is an alias for --max-read-errors=1)

Was very glad to see the --exit-on-slow feature in -pre5, happy to report the recovery succeeded overnight, rather than the "projected" 200 days at 64KB/sec. Having the USB controlled relay switch is definitely something that works well as a companion with ddrescue.

Regards,
Paul.
