Bonjour Francois. How long it takes, or even whether it will be able to complete the image at all is up to your drive. If the drive is still spitting out data you can keep going. I would continue imaging a drive like that for a month or more.
That being said, you can try mounting the image to see if you can get your data despite the missing blocks - there are relatively few missing. I would not try to repair the filesystem until I finished imaging. Mount the image read-only. Depending on what you are trying to get back, you can try file-caving software on the image right away (as ddrescue continues). It will use the image in a read-only way and the missing blocks should not corrupt too much data. I hope this helps. Regards, Andrew Zajac --- On Fri, 3/4/11, T.
