ddrescue-like tool at filesystem level

[ludovico van <ludovicovan80@gmail.com>]

hi all,

i have a damaged HD with many bad blocks on it, and i'm trying to
recover its files.

the first try was using ddrescue, but (even with the --no-split
option) it took an entire day to only copy a couple of GiB...

since i can successfully mount the disk and browse its files, it would
be nice to only copy the files and dirs i need.
Using a regular cp -a gives of course I/O errors and aborts the copy process.

so, is there a tool like ddrescue, which ignores errors (and maybe
retries to read the bad blocks), but working at the filesystem level,
so i can copy only selected files?


thanks all
