[Cialug] ddrescue + kpartx = bacon

[David Champion]

Had to recover data from a crashed laptop drive. Some of the usual tools
didn't work for me, I used ddrescue to grab the disk image, it took about
26 hours to recover a 320gb drive, about 7gb of the drive was not
recoverable. Then I used kpartx to read the partition table & create the
loop devices, mounted it and was able to recover the documents I needed.

Saved my bacon.
