SuSE has a ddrescure RPM in their distribution which will do what you
need:
wh@aragorn:~$ /usr/local/frodo/bin/dd_rescue
dd_rescue: (fatal): both input and output have to be specified!
dd_rescue Version 0.98, garloff@suse.de, GNU GPL
($Id: dd_rescue.c,v 1.22 1999/10/19 23:46:25 garloff Exp $)
dd_rescue copies data from one file (or block device) to another
USAGE: dd_rescue [options] infile outfile
Options: -s ipos start position in input file (default=0),
-S opos start position in output file (def=ipos);
-b softbs block size for copy operation (def=16384),
-B hardbs fallback block size in case of errs (def=512);
-e maxerr exit after maxerr errors (def=0=infinite);
-m maxxfer maximum amount of data to be transfered (def=0=inf);
-l logfile name of a file to log errors and summary to
(def="");
-r reverse direction copy (def=forward);
-t truncate output file (def=no);
-w abort on Write errors (def=no);
-a spArse file writing (def=no),
-A Always write blocks, zeroed if err (def=no);
-i interactive: ask before overwriting data (def=no);
-f force: skip some sanity checks (def=no);
-q quiet operation,
-v verbose operation;
-V display version and exit;
-h display this help and exit.
Note: Sizes may be given in units b(=512), k(=1024) or M(=1024*1024)
bytes
This program is useful to rescue data in case of I/O errors, because
it does not necessarily aborts or truncates the output.
