Hello Dave, Dave Burton wrote:
I really like your status line idea.
I added a status line to the logfile because it is needed to make the operation of the planned --fill option interruptible, but I found it useful for other things.
You may have noticed that I have released a pre-release, not a release candidate. This is because I want to implement the --fill option and support for sparse output files in 1.6, and I want it to be very well tested. I hope the people in this list can help me with the testing. Thanks.
I have not done any experiments to determine whether or not this helps "raw" read performance in the absence of errors, but my guess is that it might help a lot. (The experiments should be done before considering adding this complexity to ddrescue, of course!)
Really sounds complex. :) I am not sure if it would be worth to introduce this complexity into ddrescue even if it proves to work.
Perhaps the experiments could be easily done by means of a hand crafted logfile with the sectors to be read marked as bad and the rest marked as good.
