Re: [Bug-ddrescue] Rescued: 0 , what next?

I'd try power cycling and see if you can get a sample of data from 
various points on the drive ( try every 50GB).  Some drives, once they 
go in to fail mode, you can't get anything more off them without 
cycling.  I ended up building a USB controllable SATA power switch just 
so I can handle such drives.

something like....    ddrescue -v -f -i 50G -s 1G /dev/sde clone log

( and then -i 100G,  etc )
