[Bug-ddrescue] Help

[Kristian Benoit]

Hi,
I'm trying to use ddrescue, with some issue, I hope you can help me.

So here's my process so far:
My USB hard drive (2 GB) was slow. So I thought of using badblock, after a
few hours it did not find anything bad, but was still at 0%, so I stopped
it and the drive was no longer mounting. So a friend of mine suggested to
use ddrescue. I went to his place and started ddrescue, after a few hours,
as we were reading it could restart where it was, I decided to do it from
home so I stopped it (Ctrl-C).

Here's were it starts to go weird:

   1. At home, I restarted with the same command (sudo ddrescue -f -n
   /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 dd_rescue.log). dd_rescue.log was the copied map
   from the previous run at my friends place. It was first checking something
   (I dont remember what ?) then it reported being in second (pass/phase ?)
   and  backward. Something's wrong I should stop it. So I then (Ctrl-C) and
   nothing was happening, it was ignoring (I thought) my Ctrl-C so I pulled
   the plug after a few minutes.
   2. I was waiting/searching for more help during a few days and the other
   day, I accidently try to mount the (backup) hard drive. It told that it
   failed to mount it, but did not say anything about trying to fix the
   partition, did it change the change anything to the rescued map ?

Searching for help with the first topic was already hard and now I must
find some more info. Some help would be appreciated, thanks,
Kristian
