Reading more sectors in one go gives higher transfer rates.
Unless you ask the kernel to read more sectors at a time that those that for some reason it can manage.
So why does ddrescue behave that way ? It gets a error response from kernel and assumes the sectors are unreadable ?
It assumes they are unreadable *as requested*. Later it will try to read them in smaller chunks (Splitting error areas...). What else could it do, discard the values you supplied and use its own ones?
