NAME

6       nbdkit-ddrescue-filter - nbdkit filter for serving from ddrescue dump
7

SYNOPSIS

9        nbdkit --filter=ddrescue plugin [plugin-args...]
10                                        ddrescue-mapfile=file.map
11
12        nbdkit --filter=ddrescue file file=file.img ddrescue-mapfile=file.map
13                                      [plugin-args...]

DESCRIPTION

16       "nbdkit-ddrescue-filter" is a filter for nbdkit(1) which overlays bad
17       blocks according to a GNU ddrescue(1) mapfile.  This is mainly useful
18       for testing disk images recovered with ddrescue, to detect which files
19       or filesystem structures are impacted, or attempting fsck on them.
20
21       Note that the current implementation is read-only.
22

EXAMPLES

24       Expose a rescued disk image with detected bad sectors:
25            nbdkit --filter=ddrescue file file=disk.img ddrescue-mapfile=disk.map
26
27           The above command serves the disk image disk.img and maps the bad
28           sectors listed in disk.img so that read attempts on them do not
29           return a valid block full of zeroes.
30

PARAMETERS

32       The "ddrescue-mapfile" parameter must point to a valid GNU ddrescue
33       mapfile.
34

DATA FORMAT

36       The file pointed to by the "ddrescue-mapfile" parameter should conform
37       to the format of a GNU ddrescue(1) mapfile.
38

FILES

40       $filterdir/nbdkit-ddrescue-filter.so
41           The filter.
42
43           Use "nbdkit --dump-config" to find the location of $filterdir.
