I have a disk recovery under way. I used this command on a Mac:
sudo ddrescue -f -r3 /dev/disk2 /dev/disk1
However, I forgot to put a mapfile name. So, a few questions:
1. Where is the mapfile being written? Can I recover it?
2. Since mapfile is an essential argument to the command, could it be
writing the mapfile on /dev/disk1? Aarrgghh!!!
If the latter (and I hope not), could I suggest some more rigorous
checking of arguments might be desirable. As it is, I have
potentially wasted 15 hours of copying of a disk with lots of read
errors. :-(
3. If I need to interrupt a ddrescue run, is it ok to CTRL/C it, then
start running it again later, assuming there is actually a mapfile
somewhere? (I have tradesmen coming today who may need to turn the
power off.)
Thanks
