The log will be saved. Please note, sometimes -d did not work for me as expected - it reported ALL "error=BAD" sectors, so keep a backup copy of the log!!! Then try disable drive caching and enable direct mode, and restart ddrescue with slightly modified command line. in UBUNTU, I use: hdparm -A 0 /dev/sda hdparm -a 0 /dev/sda hdparm --direct /dev/sda ddrescue -v -v -v -v -d -r2 /dev/sda1 /media/disco_NEW/disco_NEW.img /home/disco_NEW.log Good luck! _______________________________________________ Bug-ddrescue mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-ddrescue
