My 2 cents :
What would constitute an "empty" part ? Sometimes, blocks filled with 00 or
FF or any value may be legitimate parts of a file.
To know which blocks are really used for files, ddrescue would have to
analyse the filesystem allocation and, at least to me, that seems to disrupt
the idea of cloning the disk.

Hi Cameron,

Skipping the empty parts of the drive will have to wait until 1.23. I also
will need more feedback about how should ddrescue decide if a block is
empty.
Thank you very much for your donation.
Best regards,
Antonio.
