Hello everyone!


There is a small problem related to restoring a VM.
Namely, that a VM Sector defective hard drive was saved in. In one place it has an error of about 2 megabytes. Backup 250GB, 350 GB unpacked. Includes a 4GB, a 273GB sizes, a 146GB sizes, as well as a 36GB size image. The defective hard drive utility ddrescue saved to another hard disk in compressed backups, then gzrecovery utility unpacked. VMA VMA proxmox tried the file format utility to extract the image. The 4GB and 273GB disk image files ether was successful, but the following file size 146GB stopped expand a program error.
Is it possible that the VMA utility cross the defective parts of the file, or other ideas to expand the file to the VMAs last 36GB probably a good image?

ps.:
sorry my little english, I hope you understand what I wrote

Technically, it would be possible to skip those bad extents. But the current vma utility does not have such feature (someone would need to implement that).
