Hi, Is the assumption correct, that -- if ddrescue could read each partitions of the sdcard without stuttering, retries and errors -- the sdcard itsself is ok and "only" the logical structure (fs, superblock etc) got damaged? Or do I overlook something? (Background: I dont want to put a sdcard into the bin, if fdisking & reformatting that beast would gives me back an ok media...) Cheers Meino
