My current dead disk is quite interesting: It has a lot of "tar pits" where the speed drops dramatically. Reading at 3000KB/s it hits a tar pit, and after 30MB of 10KB/s it suddenly goes back to 3000KB/s and stays there until the next tar pit a few 100MB later.
It is currently scraping, and it would be very useful if I could tell ddrescue to skip the next 1MB if the read speed went below 1MB/s. It might make sense to skip X bytes if speed drops below X bytes/s. I do not want ddrescue to stop if the speed goes below the limit, but I want it to skip forwards. I have tried -a 1000000, but that does not seem to do this. /Ole _______________________________________________ Bug-ddrescue mailing list Bug-ddrescue@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-ddrescue
