Hello!
-
- Following I found in the ddrescue Manual (https://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/manual/ddrescue_manual.html#Invoking-Ddrescue):
-
-
`
-R
'
-
`
--reverse
'
-
Reverse direction of all copy operations. This means the copy of the
non-tried blocks, splitting and retrying are run backwards, while
trimming is run forwards.
This looks like a leftover from a dd_rescue manual, maybe.
My ddrescue tells me:
-
`--retrim'
`-R'
Mark all failed blocks inside the rescue domain as non-trimmed
before beginning the rescue. The effect is similar to
`--max-retries=1', but the bad sectors are tried in a different
order, making perhaps possible to rescue some of them.
I just got a little confused with this difference.
Anyway, thanks a lot for this great tool.
Greetings
