Interesting suggestion. I searched testdisk project site [0] and found
the following:
<quote>
Destination filesystem must have enough space to store the file. Note
that the size of the image is equal to the size of the partition, but
storing a file require more space than the filesize because of the
filesystem overhead.

I was trying to rescue partitions to the home directory but probably
testdisk (or dd?) uses /tmp, and I have only 9.3 GB of free space
under /. But filesize restriction of 2GB despite of different partitions
looks suspicious. Pity I don't have 64 bit computer on the hand and
can't find any maillists or help-forums devoted to testdisk.
Thank you!
