Also, does ddrescue "stop" (as in quit) or is it just stuck there spending a lot of time trying to read one or more bad spots? it is intended to keep trying until it gets something, or gives up and skips to the next track/sector/whatever. If you let it go for a long time (overnight???) does it proceed ?

I have a disk that is flagging errors, attempting to rescue the data.
I tried dd first - if gets about 117G of 320G disk and stops incrementing the save image any more.
did you try
dd conv=noerror …
this flag makes dd not stop on input error. Whatever is irrecoverable is irrecoverable, but this way you will get stuff beyond failure point.

Now I'm trying ddrescue and it also stops about the same point
Thoughts on how to continue past that point ? Thanks,
