Hello Tim,

No, you don't. :-)
`-C'
`--complete-only'
Limit rescue domain to the blocks listed in the logfile. Do not
read new data beyond logfile limits. This is useful when reading
from devices of undefined size, like raw devices.
"The blocks listed in the logfile" are not only those already rescued,
but also those non-tried, non-trimmed, etc. Look at the end of the
logfile and you will probably find a very big non-tried block.
I have a rescue that I am doing that I wish to limit to the current
amount rescued, just filling in the areas that didn't rescue the first
time.
If you want to limit the rescue to the area currently rescued, try the
option --max-size like this:
$ ddrescue --max-size=211755MB /dev/sdc /dev/null rescue.log
Regards,
Antonio.
