Hey,

I'm working on a CD reformatting project for Pratt Institute Libraries, and
I came across a batch of CDs with a Device Block Size of 2352 Bytes, as
noted in the text document attached. Our usual command has been the
following:

ddrescue -r4 -b 2048 -v /dev/disk# /path/to/diskImageName.iso
/path/to/diskImageName.log

I tried changing 2048 to 2352, but the response was the same, "Unaligned
read error. Is sector size correct?"

Let me know how I should troubleshoot this issue?

Many thanks,
Xavi Danto
