I have an old disk which sounds as though it is nearing end of life.
gpart() shows:
How should I attempt to rescue any data from the disk? I suspect dd() would fail, so should I attempt to mount the various partition and copy any accessible files? Are there any recovery tools I should try to recover bad blocks?
Running
