I dunno what rdd is, but if you're trying to create an image of a HD with read errors, I suggest ddrescue (not dd_rescue, two different programs.) I recently used it to recover two HDs with read errors, successfully. You can find it here: https://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html you may need to compile it, depending on what system youwant to use it on. I was able to compile a static binary so I could use it on j-random live CD without issues. > [1]http://sourceforge.net/projects/rdd/ > Ubuntu has rdd version 2.0.7 available, and after suffering a little, I > could build this same version on an old Fedora 12 machine and use the > binaries on the failing host, which was a Fedora 19. > rdd 3.x build "perfectly" on Fedora 19, but shows the help message for > any list of parameters. > Does anyone have a history on this?
