Even though it doesn't use different algorithms, programs like dd_rescue and ddrescue can also change the block size upon encountering read errors, and apply several cycles of read attempts. In worst case, there will be "gaps" in the result. Surely SpinRite is "more clever" than that, using some means to "extrapolate" the missing data. http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/ddrescue/ http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
