The 315720 MB is the used area, of which only 120566 MB has been 
recovered with an errsize of 68529 MB , so it is not done.

120566 + 68529 = 189095, what ddrescue has tried so far. Which means it 
still has 126625 MB to go yet for copying non-tried blocks (315720 - 
189095 = 126625).
> ipos:   321129 MB
The ipos shows that it is at roughly 321GB of the 500GB size of your 
drive, which means it is not at the end. If you were not using the 
domain log then ddrescue would have shown the full size of the drive for 
what it was "About to copy...".
That is a pretty big error size too.
