From cb2cd394b381d118a7536b1e0ec89813abe3e44e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "elisa-laajakaista.fi!szaka" Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2005 21:48:00 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ntfsclone: added a new option, --rescue. It ignores read errors so disks having bad sectors (dying disks) can be rescued. The content of the cluster having bad sectors is filled by character '2' and the start of the cluster is marked by "BadClusteR".
