I have just released ddrescue-1.23-pre2 with the new --sift option:

http://download-mirror.savannah.gnu.org/releases/ddrescue/ddrescue-1.23-pre2.tar.lz

'--shift'
     Shift the positions of all the blocks in MAPFILE by the offset
     ('--output-position' - '--input-position'), and write the
     resulting mapfile to standard output. Either '--input-position' or
     '--output-position' must be 0. If the offset is positive, a
     non-tried block is inserted before the first block. Any blocks
     beyond the end of the rescue domain are removed before performing
     the shift.

Hope this helps, and use with care. I have barely tested it.


Best regards,
Antonio.
