If it can't really read a particular sector, I'm assuming ddrescue will skip it then? So just us import and then specify the parent dir of where I recovered the d4 files to? What happens if SnapRAID sees a file there that has a hash that it knows already, will it still rehash it or something?

If ddrescue copies the whole partition, does that mean even unrecoverable files will be copied? If I really can't replace d4 right now, can I copy its contents to either d1, d2, or d5? If I do that, will I still need to use the --import option? If I understand the use of that option correctly, I won't need to do that because the files are still inside the array (in one of the data disks) and all data disks are scanned anyway, correct?

What is the best method to copy data from d4 that can retry to read on bad sectors and skip it if it fails after n retries? And can I copy to one of the othet data disks (d1, d2, or d5) since that is effectively adding data to the disk (not replacing anything)? Or is this a bad idea and I should replace d4 with a new drive toobefore trying to copy the files?

Is this project dead already? :(

@amadvance @angrydingo any ideas?

Can anybody help me out here? :(

So apparently, d4 has a lot of smart errors already and is failing too. Is this why I can't recover the files in d3 anymore? Cause I only have one parity drive and one data drive totally failed (click) and the other failing but still accessible? At this point, how can I recover what I can in d3 without the fix operation terminating? Or is it better to go ahead and move the readable contents out of d4 first?

So now I did the fix command on d3 (with a new disk mounted as d3) and get a lot of unrecoverable errors in the fix.log. Also, the command did not finish as it looks like it terminated with this error: msg:fatal: Error reading file '/mnt/disk4/backup/Laptop Backup - Irene/2/Laptop Backup/Pictures/Yobo´s pics/2018/September/Florida/IMG_20180929_114751_1.jpg'. Input/output error. I'm assuming it terminated because I don't see the summary of the fix operation in the log file. FWIW, the snapraid.parity...
