[Bug-ddrescue] 10 days for 7.8gig?

[sean darcy]

I'm running ddrescue 1.9 to rescue a dvd.

It's been running for 10 days!

>From in info pages, first I did:

 ddrescue  -n -v  -b2048 /dev/dvd quark.iso logfile


About to copy 7782 MBytes from /dev/dvd to quark.iso
    Starting positions: infile = 0 B,  outfile = 0 B
    Copy block size: 32 hard blocks
Hard block size: 2048 bytes
Max_retries: 0
Direct: no    Sparse: no    Split: no    Truncate: no

Press Ctrl-C to interrupt
Initial status (read from logfile)
rescued:         0 B,  errsize:   8980 kB,  errors:       1
Current status
rescued:         0 B,  errsize:   7782 MB,  current rate:        0 B/s
   ipos:     69632 B,   errors:       1,    average rate:        0 B/s
   opos:     69632 B
Finished

That took about an hour.

Then:

ddrescue  -d -v  -b2048 /dev/dvd quark.iso logfile


About to copy 7782 MBytes from /dev/dvd to quark.iso
    Starting positions: infile = 0 B,  outfile = 0 B
    Copy block size: 32 hard blocks
Hard block size: 2048 bytes
Max_retries: 0
Direct: yes    Sparse: no    Split: yes    Truncate: no

Press Ctrl-C to interrupt
Initial status (read from logfile)
rescued:         0 B,  errsize:   7782 MB,  errors:       1
Current status
rescued:         0 B,  errsize:   7782 MB,  current rate:        0 B/s
   ipos:   226940 kB,   errors:       1,    average rate:        0 B/s
   opos:   226940 kB
Splitting error areas...

This has been running for 10 days. logfile  is now up to 6MB. AFAIC,
ipos/opos keeps going up to 7782 MB, then starts over.

Is this what I should expect? Did I do something wrong?
