December 8, 20223 yr I need to try to rescue failed 4TB HDD and copy it onto an 8TB HDD. I ssh'ed into Unraid, triple-checked the /dev/sdX and /dev/sdY source and destination devices, and ran root@Tower:~# ddrescue -f /dev/sdf /dev/sdb /boot/ddrescue.log per Now 24hrs later, the "Fix Common Problems" CA is complaining: "/var/log is getting full (currently 100 % used)" and recommends posting diagnostics, which I will attach. Also , ps -aux does not show any ddrescue command process running, but "sudo ps -a" shows it. root@Tower:~# sudo ps -a PID TTY TIME CMD 8633 pts/0 00:00:00 sudo 8634 pts/0 00:00:00 ps 23977 pts/1 00:01:12 ddrescue ------------------------------------- root@Tower:~# sudo ps 23977 PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 23977 pts/1 D+ 1:12 ddrescue -f /dev/sdf /dev/sdb /boot/ddrescue.log ------------------------------------- root@Tower:~# ps gv PID TTY STAT TIME MAJFL TRS DRS RSS %MEM COMMAND ... 23977 pts/1 D+ 1:12 0 81 5970 1952 0.0 ddrescue -f /dev/sdf /dev/sdb /boot/ddrescue.log What's happening?

Do you think a professional service would be able to get everything modified in the last 6 months? Might not be worth it even if they could. I'll have to think if I have any super important things from last 6 months. Also, I am going to restart and try ddrescue one more time just in case, maybe do some more reading on ddrescue options first.
