I am trying to recover a USB flash drive that returns different data each time it is read. There are no errors, so ddrescue does not retry at any point during the imaging process.
It would be very useful if ddrescue could have an option to re-read data and verify that is it same as what it read before. If it was not the same, it could try the same block a number of times and choose the most likely outcome. Does anybody know of a way of taking a number of ddrescue images and merging them to get a result with the least errors possible? For example, if there were three images, and at a given point in the image there was a 0 in one of the files but a 1 in two of the others, then it would choose the 1. ddrescue has been a very useful tool. Thank you for taking the time to make it!
