Hello
I did try the "dd conv=noerror …" The ddrescue - doesnt stop - it just doesnt "continue" past a certain point. Somewhere around the 117G mark - it just doesnt go past that . (same with dd, gets to 117G and just doesnt continue. I have let the dd run all night - did not go past the 117G.
You can interrupt ddrescue and then resume with "-R" (--reverse) option. That will make it start from the end of the device and read backward toward the trouble area.
