Re: [Bug-ddrescue] GNU ddrescue 1.18-pre3 new option complication

[Scott Dwyer]

I would love to see it fixed in the kernel. But hell, I can't even 
consistently reproduce it now. The test drive I was just working with 
that was producing the problem has now stopped producing the problem. Go 
figure. And I actually used a hammer to "simulate" a failing drive 
problem on that drive (I don't have a large collection of failing 
drives). Yes, I said a hammer, always thinking creatively :) But if 
there is anything I can do to help report the problem, then please let 
me know.
