Re: [Bug-ddrescue] Error writing logfile - Invalid Argument

[John Parr]

I was seeing "Device not ready" for the disk I am writing my log and image
to.
Looks like TimeMachine fired off. I also disabled spotlight for the volume
I an writing to.

It does seem to have cleared but when I press "Enter" it doesn't start up
again. I did Q+Enter and then tried to startup again and got:


ddrescue: Write error: Invalid argument

mac:ddrescue-1.19 jn$ sudo ./ddrescue -v /dev/rdisk3s2
/Volumes/RecoveryDisk/MHD.dmg /Volumes/RecoveryDisk/MHD.log

Password:xxxxxxxxxxxx

ddrescue: error in logfile /Volumes/RecoveryDisk/MHD.log, line 0.

mac:ddrescue-1.19 jn$

Looks like my log is hosed.

The disk I am writing to is a 1 TB with plenty of space and it's showing up
fine.
