Anyone knowing what this little tool was named? Something like diskcopy,
devcopy, I forgot.

I'm quite sure it was one of them.
Allow me to followup on this a bit vintaged thread but it's an all over
again happening issue.
Some student lost some important data due to disk failure.
I tried PHKs' recoverdisk with recoverdisk -b 1024000 /dev/ad2 ad2.dmp
and it went off quite promising just few dma read timeouts and when I
was at 7% of recovery
it suddenly says:
ad2: FAILURE - device detached.
1558528000 1024000 failed (device not configured)
#
Hmm. How can I avoid that the device gets detached?
