Ah, ok, so total read error.
What about syslog?
Nothing in the system log related to 'dd_*rescue' or 'sde'. Since the block device /dev/sde is the only thing reported and nothing related to the partition /dev/sde1 I am reasonably satisfied at this point the card just died some type of death. I put an old card from another camera back in until the new cards arrive and it is working fine -- so I am satisfied that we have run this into ground. When photorec with a raw read cannot even find a jpeg signature anywhere attempting to read the whole card, I don't see me reinventing the wheel and opening /dev/sde for a raw read from a file descriptor doing any better. (if open didn't fail outright) Thanks for all the suggestions. Will chock it up to a coronal mass ejection or some other phenomena ;p -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
