For data recovery, it's best to do a mount, then tar, as that does retries.
whereas raw dd (& slice) give up early.
I can't find the CRC ECC checking in BSD /sys
On host=laps, a mount of /dev/acd0 + tar failed (hanging) after 2 Gig.
a mount of /dev/cd0 (using the scsi to atapi kernel hacks) read all
4.5 Gig (though whether the data is valid is not yet known).
laps acd0 has given short files, & files with blocks of sero in.
laps cd0 has also delivered nulls
film on single speed has also delivered nulls twice while laps delivered OK.
