Re: [Bug-ddrescue] Problem with domain-logfile

[Gábor Katona]

Oh, I skipped this small piece of important information, thanks. I have such non-contiguous synthetic logfile, because I use nfi.exe [1-3] to get sectors used by given files. Then continue the rescue process with them instead of rescueing not so important or potentially empty space on a NTFS drive showing extreme low read speed on failing areas. Unfortunely I couldn't find a suitable Linux until.

I think for such targeted rescues it would be really useful if ddrescuelog could generate a legitim logfile.

For my case now I will create a small script to do that and next time will read more carefully :). (Definitely the name DOMAIN logfile made me think, instead of reading, that arbitrary domains can be given).

Best regards,

Gábor
