Im trying to rescue one of my failing 2tb harddrives with ddrescue. This is the progress so far.
As you can see its currently in the trimming phase. Its been going for 4 straight days. How much longer do you guys think it will take? Also i put -r2, does that mean its going to repeat each phase 2 times, or will it just try to read failed blocks 2 more times once all phases has been completed?
Also, looking at the screenshot, what do you guys think caused the problem? I can clearly see a pattern...

Looks like your platter got scratched, that's why the failed blocks are in (relatively) straight lines. Did the drive get bumped while it was spinning?

Dont think so, computer has been standing still. But i did notice the drive taking longer and longer to load over a period of 2 weeks until it completely froze when i tried to browse it. Started the ddrescue right after that.
