Nice image. Maybe ddrescue could trim drives like this more efficiently, 
or even try to predict the size of the next bad area. Ddrescue tends to 
become more intelligent after every interesting report sent to this 
list. :-)

Could you send me the (compressed) logfile? I'll try to improve the 
trimming algorithm with it. Thanks.

The size of each error seems to be large (about 10MB), so the 
'--try-again' option may read all those non-trimmed blocks fast.


Good luck and best regards,
Antonio.
