Oh yes. Waiting is much more fun with

Your timing was good. I woke up this morning asking myself, "How

ddrescue has run to completion without _reported_ errors for all
partitions of the drive. I understand that does *NOT* guarantee
that the files are not corrupt.
I've read the man page of su with recent experiences in mind.

I would try something like
ddrescue -p /dev/sdc1 /mnt/my_sdb6/my_sdc1 /mnt/my_sdb6/sdc1_log
