[01:35:25] <[Saint]> [7]: It is, dying I mean.
[01:35:31] <[Saint]> Well...dead, rather.
[01:36:33] <[Saint]> [7]: I'm running hddscan2.ubi on it now, but I have some questions:
[01:36:59] <[Saint]> 1 - Could you help me to understand the onscreen output please?
[01:37:27] <[7]> it's basically a table how many sectors are in which bin right now
[01:37:39] <[Saint]> 2 - How do I know when it has completed? (I guess this is somewhat a part of question 1)
[01:37:48] <[Saint]> 3 - What to do when it has completed?
[01:38:14] <[7]> it will walk through the disk in chunks of 32MB or so, rescanning each chunk over and over until all damage has been identified
[01:38:33] <[7]> so while the sector number will repeatedly step backwards, it will increase over time
[01:38:42] <[7]> that's the best progress indicator that you can get
[01:39:05] <[7]> once it completes you should have a working drive - unless further damage has developed during the scan, which can very well happen
[01:39:13] <[Saint]> So phase * of 8 is kinda meaningless as progress?
[01:39:52] <[Saint]> I wish I could dump the screen so I could point to what I was talking about.
[01:40:24] <[7]> those phases are the current step within the current chunk
[01:40:36] <[7]> you can :)
[01:41:10] <[Saint]> Oh? Is it also running an emCORE console during this scan?
[01:41:12] <[7]> I've written a little script that streams the ipod's screen to a web site via the emcore debugger for the purpose of monitoring hddscan
[01:41:30] <[Saint]> hahahaha - you awesome bastard. :)
[01:41:40] <[7]> on the console it also logs some stuff, but that's more internal debug info and sector state reports
[01:42:11] <[7]> user890104 came up with a crappy php based solution that made a screenshot every few seconds
[01:42:16] <[7]> I just had to do better :)
[01:42:36] <[Saint]> :)
[01:42:53] <[Saint]> SO, as to the question "how do I know when it has completed"?
[01:43:16] <[Saint]> And what to do when it has completed?
[01:43:26] <[7]> it will say so when it has. and the sector number will be at the end of the disk at that point
[01:43:27] <[Saint]> Please, dear Sir.
[01:43:35] <[7]> <[7]> once it completes you should have a working drive - unless further damage has developed during the scan, which can very well happen
[01:43:51] <[Saint]> AH, right, thankyou. I missed that.

[01:45:24] <[Saint]> Nice.
[01:45:39] <[7]> http://paste.pm/c9g.js (zlib in javascript, required for the client)
[01:45:39] <[Saint]> You really are a "jack-of-all-trades".
[01:46:54] <[Saint]> Thank you for your help.
[01:46:54] <[Saint]> I appreciate it.

[20:44:17] <[Saint]> Well...
[20:44:39] <[Saint]> hddscan2 hasn't finished yet, but it hasn't fallen over either.
[20:44:55] <[Saint]> So I take this to be a positive sign.
