Re: [Bug-ddrescue] recovering specific files from ntfs with ddrescue and ntfstools

I would like to implement something like this, but your method seems way 
too complicated and I would prefer a method able to work also on 
ext[234] like the one described by J. Randall Owens.

For example, if it were possible to make filesystem-specific tools 
create a list of blocks to be rescued, then ddrescuelog could be 
modified to create a domain-logfile from the list and ddrescue could 
rescue the produced domain in a single call.

I don't get it. Ddrescue does not write anything to its output in case 
of a read error (missing sector?) in its input.
