Are you saying a flux recorder should have a better way of detecting that problem?
Yes, the way they do it now if you have one shot at recovering a disk you are sure to fail. Imagedisk, even though it spends way too much time with the heads spinning on the media at least does real-time retries. the problem is you also need to be able to stop and assemble a complete image by splicing together multiple partial attempts.
