Re: [Bug-ddrescue] ddrescue - disk 2 disk (ntfs)

Thigns are going well, but I was wondering, here is what I ran for the second
run to get data of the parts of the disk with errors:

address@hidden:~$ sudo ddrescue -r1 -v /dev/sdb /storage/test.bin testlog

About to copy 160041 MBytes from /dev/sdb to /storage/test.bin
    Starting positions: infile = 0 B,  outfile = 0 B
    Copy block size: 128 hard blocks
Hard block size: 512 bytes
Max_retries: 1    Split: yes    Truncate: no

Press Ctrl-C to interrupt
Initial status (read from logfile)
rescued:   160040 MB,  errsize:   1507 kB,  errors:     629
Current status
rescued:   160041 MB,  errsize:    757 kB,  current rate:        0 B/s
   ipos:     4363 MB,   errors:    1480,    average rate:       17 B/s
   opos:     4363 MB
                             
Now if I read this correctly, it read from the log file that after the first
pass there was error size : 1507Kb?

And if I keep reading it says after the pass with -r1 option it now only has
(it completed) error size : 757Kb?

This is a reduciton in the total error size - I assume this is good?

But how can the error size go down, yet errors goes up (from 629 to 1480)?

Thanks in advance - trying to understand the program better!!

Cheers

-Al
