I am doing a 1TB partition recovery from /dev/sdX3 to a file on a different disk. I am running booted from Live Ubuntu usb.



ddrescue was initially run with simple:
ddrescue --no-scrape /dev/sdc3 /target/sdc3.mg /target/sdc3.log



Eventually around 700GB it got to a place on disk where it gets a lot of sector errors. After 10-15 of those the disk goes offline and the usb host gets reset. The only way to get it back is to power down the disk, unplug USB and then power up and plug it back in. I am not making any progress on the remaining 300gb.



I wanted to skip 100gb or so to get the most from the disk. So I tried to specify "-i 800000000000". This allowed the recovery to work a bit but I noticed that journal/log file got completely wiped out and the image seems different now too (smaller).



Luckily I have saved prior image/log so I can go back.



My question - is it possible to restart ddrescue with different set of the options (adding to original ones) to tell it to skip large area of disk but continue using the same image/log. So I can come back to non-tried areas later.



Thank you!
