The command I am using is: ddrescue -v -n /dev/sdb3 /dev/sdc1 /media/(user)/recoverylogfile.txt --force [...] Even if I shorten up the logfile part of the command to just 'logfile.txt' with no path, I get the same error. However, if I omit the logfile part of the command, the utility runs.
This makes no sense. If the mapfile (formerly called logfile) were the cause of the problem, the error message would be
ddrescue: Can't create mapfile: Permission denied Do you have read permission to /dev/sdb3? What version of ddrescue are you using?
