My new 2TB HD just arrived. Old 1.5TB to be rescued, made in 2010, has 8 pending sectors reported by smartctl. e2fsck locks up the PC trying to fix its EXT2 filesystem. I know if anything could bail me out, dd_rhelp could.
Debian bugs Google found about dd_rhelp: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=252198 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=254759 I see gddrescue in the repos, but my experience with dd_rehelp is only favorable. Can someone tell me how they compare, or even if they are comparable? Do Debian users simply extract the script from the lastest archive version on www.kalysto.org and run it? -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."
