hi all, i have a damaged HD with many bad blocks on it, and i'm trying to recover its files.
the first try was using ddrescue, but (even with the --no-split option) it took an entire day to only copy a couple of GiB... since i can successfully mount the disk and browse its files, it would be nice to only copy the files and dirs i need. Using a regular cp -a gives of course I/O errors and aborts the copy process. so, is there a tool like ddrescue, which ignores errors (and maybe retries to read the bad blocks), but working at the filesystem level, so i can copy only selected files? thanks all -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
