#14194 closed enhancement (fixed)

Description

It's a simple install. I have already compiled it locally on my 10.5 host.

The website for dd_rescue http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/ddrescue/ says...

The current version is 1.14, released 2007-08-28. In version 1.14, a bug is fixed that could lead to a target file not having the correct size when copied in sparse (-a) mode. In version 1.13, a bug with read-errors and non-seekable output has been fixed. In version 1.12, the ability to log bad blocks to a ASCII file has been added. The option -y can be used to set the fsync frequency which can speed up the copy significantly. Since 1.10, it has support for non-seekable input and output (so you can write to pipes, e.g. stdout). Since 1.04, dd_rescue uses a larger default soft block size (64k instead of 16k), has support for O_DIRECT, for copying the permissions, and some minor issues fixed. RPMs since 1.04 also include dd_rhelp.
