Re: [Bug-ddrescue] Fill mode does not work if input_position is greater than file size

[Antonio Diaz Diaz]

Hello Christian,

Of course ddrescue cannot work if input_position is greater than input 
file size. Just remember that in fill mode the input file is the file 
from which the fill data is read.

Try this:
# ddrescue -i 10000000b -s 2000000b -o 0 bad_disk file.img file.log
# ddrescue -F - fill_file file.img file.log

The -i is needed only if you want to read the fill file from a given 
position.

And what is ddrescue supposed to do with them?
