Those steps are a rough sketch. Many details already flew back
and forth in this thread, so I didn't want to bloat the thing
too much. Feel free to ask where things are unclear.
I'm tangled up !! I plead for 5 or 6 lines to copy-n-paste.
On my left hand I have a defective hard disk - AKA /dev/sdc .
On my right hand I have a partitioned device waiting for data -
AKA /dev/sdb6 .
Automount has been disabled explicitly.
I have been EXPLICITLY told that ddrescue is the appropriate tool.
Reading
https://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/manual/ddrescue_manual.html
and a half dozen "tutorials" convinces me of that. Clear
explanations given in those documents why dd and other tools
*NOT* suitable for my circumstances.
How do I prepare to invoke
ddrescue /dev/sdc /mnt/repaired.img /mnt/repaired.log
Help. Please. Thank you.
