It looks like a bug or limitation in the kernel driver (the read call
blocks forever until you disconnect the drive).
So there is nothing that can be done about this? It's an USB HDD, so it
is a quite common device type...
Maybe I could find the way to make ddrescue exit in this case, but if
the kernel continues locked on the drive, you would need to disconnect
it anyway for it to respond again. So, not sure if it is worth the
trouble. In addition, I think I have never found this problem myself and
couldn't therefore test a possible workaround.
Best regards,
Antonio.
