You should just use ddrescue (gnu_ddrescue), also because it does not have the awkward conversion (conv=).
what do you mean?
Er, awkward options like count= (combined with bs=) which make you have to do convert byte offsets into sector-sized pieces, and damn you if the number of bytes to skip=, seek= or be transferred is a prime number. Well, these options may make sense in their own right, but just once again show that dd is not the tool anyone should be looking for.
But why would you use them at all? - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
