Hi Safak.
/dev/sda is the 2 gb drive? And /dev/sdb8 is a 100 GB partition that you had formatted to Reiserfs? Because that filesystem is not there anymore. You wrote the entire 2GB (including the partition table) to the sdb8 partition.
Whatever.
I hope you didn't have anything there that you wanted to keep. If you were expecting to write the image of the 2GB drive to a file, then you needed to mount sdb8 and image sda to a file there:
mkdir /home/sarak/sdb8
sudo mount /dev/sdb8 /home/sarak/sdb8
sudo ddrescue /dev/sda /home/sarak/sdb8/image /home/sarak/sdb8/logfile
Whatever.
So your entire 2GB drive is on sdb8. No problem. Look at the partition table on it.
sudo parted /dev/sdb8 unit B print
(example output)
Number Start
End Size Type File system Flags
1 32256B 7950303231B 7950270976B primary fat32 boot, lba
So the partition starts at 32256. Mount it as a loop:
mkdir mnt
sudo mount -o loop,offset=32256 /dev/sdb8 mnt/
ls mnt
Good luck.

Subject: [Bug-ddrescue] ddrescue 2gb usb stick to reiserfs partition
To: address@hidden

Hello
list,
I have rescued my 2gb usb stick in nearly two days to a 100gb blank
reiserfs partition with these two commands:
ddrescue -f -n /dev/sda /dev/sdb8 logfile
ddrescue -d -f -r3 /dev/sda /dev/sdb8 logfile
since I did not know what to do next, I tried mounting /dev/sdb8 to
look what's inside. But mount: you must specify the filesystem type. I
was able to mount the blank reiserfs partition before ddrescue wrote
on it. Can you help me?
Thanks.
Safak
