Photorec 800 hours remaining and still rising - is this normal?
Posted: 21 Dec 2019, 18:12
I'm running the latest version of Photorec (7.2 WIP), it has been running for a day, and it gives an ETA of 800+ hours that is only increasing. Searching this forum shows that if given the opportunity it will go on for many days.
Is this expected behaviour as part of a successful recovery, or did something go wrong here? It seems to have recovered a few files, especially many millions of .MPG files, but I'm unsure how many of the recovered files are likely to be false positives.
