hangs 6 hours in
Posted: 10 Oct 2012, 16:24
Hi,
I'm using photorec 6.13 on Ubuntu 12.04 (64 bit). I have a 1000GB hfs+ partition I recovered from a failing disk with dd_rescue. photorec has started to do a great job, but it always hangs (interface freezes completely, left it for over an hour with no updates) after about 6.5 hours.
When I run photorec again in the same way, it asks if I want to 'Continue previous session', to which I say Yes, but unfortunately this doesn't seem to work properly, as it starts from the beginning and finds the same files as in recup_dir.1 and up.
I've tried running with the low memory (this is a 2GB system).
Can anyone suggest anything that might help? Photorec is doing a great job, but the bits I really need are likely right at the end of the drive...
Thanks in advance,
Dan
