It's about 10 hours now since it started and here it is |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Press Ctrl-C to interrupt |
| 35 |
Initial status (read from logfile) |
| 36 |
rescued: 0 B, errsize: 0 B, errors: 0 |
| 37 |
Current status |
| 38 |
rescued: 58763 MB, errsize: 22918 kB, current rate: 1376 kB/s |
| 39 |
ipos: 58786 MB, errors: 66, average rate: 1751 kB/s |
| 40 |
opos: 58786 MB, time from last successful read: 0 s |
| 41 |
Copying non-tried blocks... |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Sometimes the "current rate" reads 0 B/s for a long time... and "time from |
| 44 |
last successful read" can be 8m. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Would any one know whether this is normal? |
| 47 |
|

Thanks, |
