Hi szaka,
If I wait long enough (~5 min) the system seem to recover from reading all the
bad sectors (this kernel does not seem to dump the I/O error messages) and ntfsclone
seem to finish its job. But I have a problem again. When I tried to make an
exact copy of the partition using
ntfsclone --rescue -o /mnt/freestore/winxp.img /dev/hda3
I get an image with a size lesser than that of the partition. To check that
everything went right I mounted the image file as a loopback device
mount /mnt/freestore/winxp.img /mnt/loop -t ntfs -o loop=/dev/loop0
and then did a diff with the mounted ntfs partition
diff -r /mnt/loop /mnt/windows
which reveals that I cannot access /mnt/loop/WINDOWS directory. I get an I/O
error when I try to access this directory. Do you have any idea of what could
have gone wrong? I also have another question. What happens to the bad sectors
portion of the data when the image used for restore?
cheers,
Krishna.
