Hello!
---
It is not enough description for option "-f" on page
http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/manual/ddrescue_manual.html
---
Example 2: Rescue an ext2 partition in /dev/hda2 to /dev/hdb2.
Note: you need to create the hdb2 partition with fdisk first. hdb2 should be
of appropriate type and size.
ddrescue -f -n /dev/hda2 /dev/hdb2 logfile
...
---
Description for '-f' '--force'
Force overwrite of outfile. Needed when outfile is not a regular file, but
a device or partition.
---
What will happen if I launch command:
ddrescue -f -n /dev/sda2 /mnt/usbrestoredisk/restorefile ddresc_log_file
instead partition name "hdb2" I put file name on mounted partition with files
and folders, free space is more than size of /dev/sda2.
What will happen with these files on /mnt/restoredisk?
Both partitions from command have ntfs filesystem.
Will be saved wholeness for restorefile after finish of executing
ddrescue -f -n /dev/sda2 /mnt/usbrestoredisk/restorefile ddresc_log_file
for next stage with "-d" parameter ddrescue -d -f -r1 /dev/sda2
/mnt/usbrestoredisk/restorefile ddresc_log_file ?
Version of ddrescue is 1.16
Thank You!
