Hi Guys, I am eager to learn about this tool, but my experience so far has been troublesome.
I am on Ubuntu and tried to copy some data from a disk with problems, this particular disks is recognised in windows and I can view it but parts of the disk are bad, so I expected ddrescue to at least copy parts of it. Since I only have 20gig on my ubuntu box I have a SMB share with 200gig free that I use to out the image file on. My command line went something like: sudo ddrescue -r 3 /dev/sdb /mnt/XonAl testlog ddrescue starts but then immediately exits with all counters at 0 B. I then wondered if I had done something wrong and ran the same command with the source as sdc (a 4 gig memory stick and it worked fine. So I am note quite sure what I am doing wrong. Any ideas???? sdb by the way is not mounted but does have a partition on it. The data is not important its just a old disk I am playing around with for the purposes of learning ddrescue.
