man ddrescue produced man page for 1.17, so that's what I tried first after not actually understanding dd_rhelp's description of the last input option about info. The 1.17 page had so many options for telling it how to do its job I missed -v. :-( Of the three source files, two result files played without apparent flaws. One "played" nothing but silent black for several minutes before I gave up trying. Mc F3 viewing the black file I see from front well into the file nothing but nulls, binary stuff in its tail.
I told you to simply use dd_rhelp and it's very simple syntax: usage: dd_rhelp {filename|device} {output-file} [{info}] or dd_rhelp --help or dd_rhelp --version Just that. it is a wrapper script around dd_rescue, and it takes care of its complex options. You do not have to care about them nor study manuals. dd_rhelp source destination
Logs from the first three done with 1.17: OK http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/bbt0512-201312181730.log bad http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/closer0710-201312190130R1.log OK http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/closer0720-201304040230.log
Looking at those logs it wasn't clear to me what they were saying, whether those numbers represent bits, bytes or sectors, and whether relative to file start and end, or filesystem addressing, until finding the man page discussion of them.
It doesn't matter. dd_rhelp knows.
I retried the one that failed with dd_rhelp, but it produced only 15%-20% of the total before it quit trying. What the log doesn't indicate is it actually ended with a segfault: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/closer0710GDMX09-201312190130.ts.log
bad luck.
I retried same one again with 1.17: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/closer0710-201312190130R2.log
You mean you tried with GNU ddrescue. And it worked. So, use that one instead of dd_rhelp. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
