Gentlemen, I want to report a small problem with ddrescue and I think it is a bug in ddrescue.
I use ddrescue often to copy data from one disk to other. And I already observed several times that ddrescue stops to show progress on the screen. I decided to report this problem. I copy one 128GB SSD disk to other SSD disk, the last report was after 85GB were copied: root@PartedMagic:~# ddrescue -f /dev/sda /dev/sdb GNU ddrescue 1.16 Press Ctrl-C to interrupt rescued: 85430 MB, errsize: 0 B, current rate: 115 MB/s ipos: 85430 MB, errors: 0, average rate: 115 MB/s opos: 85430 MB, time since last successful read: 0 s Copying non-tried blocks... Copy operations continues in the background but progress is not updated (it should be updated once a second). Once whole disk is copied, report is updated: Welcome - Parted Magic (Linux 3.5.3-pmagic) root@PartedMagic:~# ddrescue -f /dev/sda /dev/sdb GNU ddrescue 1.16 Press Ctrl-C to interrupt rescued: 128035 MB, errsize: 0 B, current rate: 45710 MB/s ipos: 128035 MB, errors: 0, average rate: 179 MB/s opos: 128035 MB, time since last successful read: 0 s Finished I think this problem is random; it can happen after several gigabytes transferred or it doesn't happen at all. It is not repeatable but it happens with some probability.
