If the disk is failing, perhaps what it needs in SpinRight to recover the
iffy blocks. Not Free, not Open, but good stuff and not expensive.
(And it makes possible the Security Now! podcast.)
But even that on 1-3TB will take forever.

Tell me about it. I've been running a "ddrescue" for over a month now trying to
recover what can be recovered from a failing 1TB disk. It averages under
200KB/s when it's not getting stuck because the disk is failing. Perhaps I'm

LOL, who knew?
A few weeks ago, I did that with two 2 TB drives sequentially. (Why
