Source: gddrescue Version: 1.29-1 Severity: wishlist The new upstream release 1.30 improves recovery significantly:
* The changes in this version improve by orders of magnitude the
automatic recovery of a drive with a dead head. For example, all the
recoverable data in a 1 TB drive with one ot its 4 heads dead can now be
recovered after just 283 read errors instead of the 3_782_794 read errors
needed by ddrescue 1.29. (ddrescue 1.29 with the options '--cpass=1,2
--skip-size=32MiB' can recover the data after 880 read errors, but the point
is that an unexperienced user can now achieve results that only an expert
could achieve with the previous version of ddrescue).
