so ddrescue needs to finish first.
I feel like you have two ~½ partitions that you need to aggregate and
try to access. I half way expect that you need to image the drive, and
then extract the two ½s and put them back together.
I don't know if losetup can ignore something in the middle or not.
I would then expect that your file system in the new spliced back
together ""partition to be okay.
I /think/ that most modern file systems have addressing within the
partition and not subject to physical location on the disk. As such,
you should be able to mount it fairly cleanly. I would expect that
files are no more corrupted than they were before the move.
