Does anyone have any experience with dd_rhelp (http://www.kalysto.org/utilities/dd_rhelp/index.en.html)? It's a script for dd_rescue (http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/ddrescue/) that supposedly gives improved performance.
I'm trying to rescue the data from a failed B drive. At the Konsole in Knoppix with both old and new drives connected, dd_rescue runs fine until it hits bad blocks, then it runs very slowly (which is the correct behaviour).
When I try dd_rhelp, however, it wants the drives to be mounted first (dd_rescue does not). The problem is that Knoppix doesn't recognise the file systems on either drive and so won't mount them.
My Linux knowledge is next to nothing -- am I missing some fundamental step here..?
