ddrescue reset usb device on read timeout
I have a damaged external usb hdd. When i connect the device to the pc i can access the file system for round about a minute. After that period the disk keeps spinning but every io operation times out.
To rescue my data i want to use ddrescue but since the device stops working every minute, this won't recover much, when i don't reset the usb device each time a read timeout occurs, since the most probable reason for that is, that the device hang up again. Is there a way to let ddrescue execute a shell command or so, whenever a read timeout occurs?
It is not possible to connect the external hdd via sata, since there isn't a accessible sata connector inside.

Is there a way to let
ddrescueexecute a shell command or so, whenever a read timeout occurs?
No, but you can use these:
-T interval--timeout=interval
Maximum time since last successful read allowed before giving up. Defaults to infinity. […]
-X n--max-read-errors=n
Maximum number of read errors allowed before giving up. Defaults to infinity. Exit with status1if more thannread errors are encountered. […]
and run ddrescue in a loop (mapfile is a must so ddrescue resumes rather than reinitiates) along with "a shell command or so".
I guess in some circumstances this may help:
-O--reopen-on-error
Close infile and then reopen it after every read error encountered during the copying phase. […]
Otherwise this question maybe.
