Re: [Bug-ddrescue] ddrescue recognizes wrong hard drive size

[Burkart Lingner]

Hi Tansu!

You could call ddrescue with the parameter --max-size=1T (or whatever 
the precise value is) to limit it to the first 1 TB.

What surprises me is that your drive is recognized as bigger than it 
should be. I've heard of manufacturers limiting the size via firmware 
settings for sales reasons, but limiting it to half the capacity? 
Anyway, I'd recommend you find out why the reported capacity is twice as 
high as it should be and more importantly that the data you copy using 
ddrescue is actually valid.
