And if it happens to abort on error, try http://safecopy.sourceforge.net
(available on package in recent distros) that makes quite good work on
reading disks with read errors. Worked better than any
dd{_recover,rescue}. After doing the 3-stage copy, I was able copy
files from ext4 partition inside LVM that was in qcow2 virtual machine
image that was on ext3 partition on LVM on the failed disk.
