Hello,

Now let's say that I have some errors between 2000M and 2516M that I want to retry. I already know that hitting 2516M would cause a lockup. If I could specify to stop program execution at 2515M, that would save me a few additional reboots. I don't see a way to do this with existing options. I can't use --max-size because I don't know how many if any errors between 2000M and 2515M will be read.

"ddrescue -i 2000M -s 515M -r 1" should do it. "--max-size" is the size ddrescue will try to copy, not the size it will actually copy.

I this would also be beneficial being able to use with --retrim, which I 
currently can't use to go backwards past the last lockpoint on the drive.

"ddrescue -i past_last_lockpoint -R" should again do it.


Regards,
Antonio.
