As Carlos suggested, use dd_rhelp to recover the recoverable.
Guys, do NOT confuse dd_rescue from Kurt Garloff with GNU ddrescue! Felix was using the latter! And dd_rhelp is part of the former!
-dnh, *tsk*
That distinction I was trying to make before starting the process with this disk. There had been no reference to dd_rhelp when I was trying to, so apparently I picked the other one compared to my last use 3 years ago, gnu_ddrescue. No man page for dd_rhelp, only --help option, so I'm trying to follow: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/recover-data-from-a-damaged-hard-disk-using-dd_rhe... It's gave me apparent syntax error. # dd_rhelp /dev/sdc wd3200avvs.img info produced [quote]
Probing logfile location : './wd3200avvs.img.log' Found convenient logfile location './wd3200avvs.img.log' No info available since there's no readable './wd3200avvs.img.log'.
'info' option outputs information on current rescuing state by parsing this log file that would have been created by a precedent use of dd_rhelp or dd_rescue. Since there's no log file, it has nothing to display. This happens if you haven't launched a dd_rhelp before.[/quote] Eventually I figured out info needs to be left off to actually run the command. It estimated about 94 minutes before reporting the first error. Files size is already >10% of the input disk size.... -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."
