The machine was started and run in safe mode.

Disk warrior was run to determine block size.

Then the Terminal window commands were as follows:

diskutil list
cd /Volumes/8TBf
pwd
sudo /opt/local/bin/ddrescue -v -n -c 8192 /dev/rdisk3s2 Rescue.dmg Rescue.log
GNU ddrescue 1.23
About to copy an unknown number of Bytes from '/dev/rdisk3s2' to 'Rescue.dmg'
Starting positions: infile = 0 B, outfile = 0 B
Copy block size: 8192 sectors Initial skip size: 128 sectors

ddrescue: Write error: No space left on device

It appears the source hardware is fine however the source's directory structure seems to be toasted.

There were two attempts. The source disk is from seagate. There were 49 GB free space on the source. The destination disks were from seagate and western digital. In both cases ddrescue stopped and said there was no more space on the receiving disk.

Not really clear as to what you're actually doing here, but a ".dmg" is usually just a fixed image size.
