Some of my benchmarking tests have shown a problem in pre8 with the logfile reporting less errors and smaller error size than what it should, meaning it is not always producing accurate results. If you need any specific details or logging files please let me know.
You mean ddrescue is reporting bad areas as good? If this is the case it is a serious bug.
Also, pre8 is noticably slower than pre6 or pre7.
I guess the algorithm has become complicated enough that some verification means are needed. I am working on a "test mode" where the map of good/bad areas can be specified and the resulting logfile can be compared with the map to verify that ddrescue is copying the data properly.
