Hi list, This tool was suggested to me by a fellow developer who uses Linux. dd_rescue is similar to dd, but is meant to be graceful when errors are encountered, instead of faulting and not allowing the dump. I used it to get an image a bad floppy, but I assume it is suitable for other disk recovery too. (It is included in Knoppix, so it has somewhat of a serious following, I guess.) The homepage with source downloads is: http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/ddrescue/ The only modification required here was to edit the Makefile to include -I/usr/local/include/ in the CFLAGS. (A quick reinplace would solve.) I would be willing to make the required port directory, if there's interest. IMHO, it may be a welcome addition to the ports tree (if another tool/method for this doesn't exist), and might be considered for inclusion to the 'live filesystem' CD. Peace, Clayton Rollins _________________________________________________________________ Make your home warm and cozy this winter with tips from MSN House & Home. http://special.msn.com/home/warmhome.armx
