Hello.
Well, short story: SSD in my MBP went read-only. Looks like it's done.
(in fact, first-gen SSD like that crucial c300 lived under pretty heavy load for 3 years... impressive)
I purchased new and all is ok, but i want to restore data from that SSD.
Problem: it was encrypted.
Even bigger problem: i can't clone it with dd.
Clone always failing at same block. I even swapped HDD, thought target drive was dead, but even after replacing it's still failing on same error. And... on writing, not reading.
I know cryptocontainer (filevault) is not broken, i was able to decrypt it, but underlying filesystem (HFS+) was damaged, it needs replaying and rewriting log, but (whoops) ssd is read-only :(
ATM those disks are hooked to my server, bypassed into vmware esxi VM.
Error:

Any ideas?
 
I'm not sure if this would help since it's failing for write, but you might try the option to continue after read error "dd conv=noerror ..."
 
Nope, i tried with noerror and noerror,sync, this is not helping in case of write error.
 
Have you tried using a tool other than dd to do a sector-by-sector clone?

Once the clone is on a r/w drive, you can access the file system and allow it to repair itself.
 
Nope, only DD with various params. Right now i'm trying clonezilla.
