But I can extend -X to all phases if it helps. Yeah, I think it is useful in cases where -J doesn't work. (I still don't know why it doesn't here...) For want of other options, so far I have been hacking the map file and "misusing" a reverse copy phase to do "manual" trimming... (BTW, I noticed that the reverse flag doesn't seem to work at all in 1.20: it was always starting with a forwards pass, no matter what I tried; I had to go back to 1.19... Is that a known issue?) > I'll release a test version with modified -J and -X ASAP (maybe today). As > always, feedback is welcome. Thanks -- I'll try it as soon as I get back to this :-) (TBH, I somewhat lost motivation, as I noticed that while the first part of the disk has only some bad sectors -- making me quite hopful initially -- later parts are actually badly broken; and I'm not sure I will really be able to recover much data... Do you happen to know perchance *roughly* how much a professional data rescue company charges? The data is not super valuable, and I'm a little low on funds -- but if it saves me all that trouble while also considerably increasing chances to actually salvage the data, I might just go for it if it's affordable...) -antrik- _______________________________________________ Bug-ddrescue mailing list Bug-ddrescue@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-ddrescue
