[Bug-ddrescue] partition size for ddrescue direct to device

[Peter]

hello to the makers of ddrescue,

thank you very much for this excellent tool.

i have one question. i am running ddrescue on mac os x 10.4. i am  
doing a direct copy from one device to the other. however the  
partition on the target drive is slightly larger than the source. i  
am using this command

./ddrescue -v /dev/disk0s3 /dev/disk2s5 RescueLog.txt

is this going to produce an unusable volume because the target is not  
the same size as the source? i have not stopped the progress and  
tried to mount it yet.

i have several drives to work with but i started running ddrescue 12  
hours ago on the bad disk, and i fear if i go over the drive again it  
will not get as much data off. what should i do? if the target  
partition was supposed to be the same size, is there any way to get  
the data that i did recover once it is finished or will the target  
device be useless?

please help!

thanks!
