Hello, I am currently rescuing a 500GB drive. When I first started ddrescue, the routine began recovering data at the blistering rate of 18-20 MB/s. Then it encountered an error (after recovering about 20GB) and the drive got hung-up and did not respond to commands. So I had to turn off the drive, turn it on again, and restart ddrescue. Now, it's been going for two days holding at a rate of 300-500 KB/s. It has not encountered any more errors according to the on-screen info and the log (see below). So why will it not ramp up to the high-speed from before? At this rate, it could take weeks to complete.
Thoughts? Am I doing something wrong? What would you do differently? Thank you, James watt...@tektite:~$ sudo ddrescue /dev/sdb1 "/media/Expansion Drive/hm.img" "/media/Expansion Drive/hm.log" [sudo] password for wattage: Press Ctrl-C to interrupt Initial status (read from logfile) rescued: 26851 MB, errsize: 128 kB, errors: 1 Current status rescued: 56575 MB, errsize: 128 kB, current rate: 327 kB/s ipos: 56575 MB, errors: 1, average rate: 353 kB/s opos: 56575 MB, time from last successful read: 0 s Copying non-tried blocks...
