[Bug-ddrescue] ddrescue/ubuntu not identifying disks

[Al Grant]

Hi Folks,

I thought when I discovered ddrescue that it would be somewhat of a pancea,
and image anything I threw at it - I had after all heard very good things
about it, I was in some respects glad to get away from windows.

While I admit to still being in my early days of Ubuntu, I have discovered
that two disks I have tried to image lately do not show up under a fsdisk
-l, and accordingly I cant image in ddrescue.

They do show sometimes in dmesg that they have been assigned sdc or
whatever, but the rule seems to be if it dont show up in fdisk -l then it
cant be imaged - or am I missing something?

Anyone know any different?

Cheers

PS: On these defective disks I have had excellent success with getdataback
to get the files off, but of course getdata back doesnt do images.
