Hi!
I had a failing HD a couple weeks ago and needed something to copy a
image file inside this HD as far as I could. I was getting I/O errors
during the rsync of the image, so rdd seemed the best tool to do this,
but unfortunately it's is not available in Fedora.
I dunno what rdd is, but if you're trying to create an image of a
HD with read errors, I suggest ddrescue (not dd_rescue, two different
programs.)
I recently used it to recover two HDs with read errors, successfully.
You can find it here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html
you may need to compile it, depending on what system youwant to
use it on. I was able to compile a static binary so I could use it
on j-random live CD without issues.

Ubuntu has rdd version 2.0.7 available, and after suffering a little, I
could build this same version on an old Fedora 12 machine and use the
binaries on the failing host, which was a Fedora 19.
rdd 3.x build "perfectly" on Fedora 19, but shows the help message for
any list of parameters.
Does anyone have a history on this? Has Fedora had this package in the
past? Is it possible to maintain this package in Fedora?
Thanks in advance,
