Re: [Bug-ddrescue] Small suggestion regarding the tutorial (in the online doc)

[Felix Ehlermann]

Dear all,

there's a quite user-friendly explanation on how to find out the serial
number of a drive (which helps to confirm that a certain device is a certain
hard disk) by the German hosting company Hetzner:

http://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Seriennummern_von_Festplatten_und_Hinweise_
zu_defekten_Festplatten/en

It's also available in German and Russian (?) language.
The output of smartctl is explained nicely as well further below in the
guide.

While the guide does not literally address the "am I specifying the correct
drive to ddrescue"-question it could be a good place to point less
experienced users to.

Kind Regards
Felix
