Re: [Bug-ddrescue] Slowness during recovery

[colo]

So I went ahead and tried to patch an older 1.6

from the post below. I am very head strong and stubborn so I did try.

Using 

sudo ./ddrescue -B -d -v -r0 /dev/disk2s3 /Volumes/Lacie/testthree/savepleasethrid.dmg savepleasetwo.log

I know a tiny tiny bit of C so me f'ng up is easy.

Here is the main.cc file that I tried to hand patch.

http://ldbss.com/ddrescue/main.txt

And here is the console output

Initial status (read from logfile)

rescued:         0 B,  errsize:       0 B,  errors:       0

Current status

rescued:         0 B,  errsize:  8126 PiB,  current rate:        0 B/s

   ipos:    8126 PiB,   errors:       1,    average rate:        0 B/s

   opos:    8126 PiB

ddrescue: internal error: bad size copying a Block

This portion    ipos:    8126 PiB

was constantly updating it's self in the terminal, something that never happened before. It usually takes 30 sec to a minute to get back an update.
