- 1It is definitely copying, the file size is growing and still no errors reported. Is it possible to open the logfile or check the free space on the destination drive while its running? Strangely, its elapsed time is about half of real time (Coming up on ~2 days when ~4 was real time)KinaMan– KinaMan2016-01-22 23:00:24 +00:00Commented Jan 22, 2016 at 23:00
- It's usually best to not mount a drive when you're running data recovery on it since the tools often have to use some roundabout mounting method to get failed partitions detected by the OS. I'm sure it probably wouldn't hurt anything, and at worst it would probably just stop the recovery process. I'm always skeptical of drive copies that take > 24hrs but if it seems to be working, more power to DDrescue!Trevor Gross– Trevor Gross2016-01-23 04:29:26 +00:00Commented Jan 23, 2016 at 4:29
- 1STILL going at about 200 gb with no errors out of 2 tb, been about 6 days. Woohoo, only 54 more days to go!? I'll try to update because most of my google results have been about 80-300 gb hard drives, not multiple terabytes.KinaMan– KinaMan2016-01-26 06:22:43 +00:00Commented Jan 26, 2016 at 6:22
- Well better late than never I guess. Are you able to see the contents of the files it recovers?Trevor Gross– Trevor Gross2016-01-26 12:58:05 +00:00Commented Jan 26, 2016 at 12:58
- Still haven't tried to access the files, since its copying the raw data I figured any files were probably strewn across the drive, and I didn't want to attempt to repair the clone. It did stop, and listed its first error, which was the ~1600 gb it hadn't gotten too. I tried to repeat the ddrescue in reverse, which also failed.KinaMan– KinaMan2016-02-04 19:57:17 +00:00Commented Feb 4, 2016 at 19:57

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
