Hi, I have been trying to rescue the files from a SD card that is connected to a USB adapter, and that can not mount in the usual way because I guess it is corrupt (complains of no read-write permission even though the SD card is unlocked). Following the instructions here: https://blog.tinned-software.net/rescue-data-from-corrupt-sd-card/ I get: $ sudo ddrescue -f /dev/sda SD_card_rescue.log GNU ddrescue 1.23 Press Ctrl-C to interrupt ipos: 322563 kB, non-trimmed: 0 B, current rate: 64000 B/s opos: 322563 kB, non-scraped: 0 B, average rate: 1178 kB/s non-tried: 0 B, bad-sector: 19968 B, error rate: 0 B/s rescued: 8270 MB, bad areas: 26, run time: 1h 56m 58s pct rescued: 99.99%, read errors: 78, remaining time: 0s time since last successful read: n/a Finished However, when I try: $ sudo losetup -f -P SD_card_rescue.img losetup: SD_card_rescue.img: failed to set up loop device: No such file or directory Adding the full path name for the SD_card_rescue.img does not change the error. I looked around a bit and tried the following: https://askubuntu.com/questions/634501/cant-mount-iso-file-as-loop-device-error-failed-to-setup-loop-device It does not per se use losetup but I still get the same error. Any suggestions? I am on an updated F30. Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
