Hi, I am fairly new to ddrescue so please forgive me if the answer to these questions are obvious (I searched for an answer of course :) ).
The ddrescue.info reveals how the algorithm works but it is not very clear. So my questions are: - How does ddrescue work on defective sectors? When does it decide to skip sectors and much more important: how does it determine the size of sectors to skip or jump ahead? - Also I have read something about backward reading capabilities but haven't seen ddrescue actually reading backwards. Does the current ddrescue read backwards? If so - when? Thanks for your help in advance -- Best regards, nik.thirtynine mailto:nik.thirtynine _______________________________________________ Bug-ddrescue mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-ddrescue
