Is there anything else one can do for bad sector/hard to read sectors other than trying to read it several times ?.
I'm using linux and using it via terminal, so looking for answers regarding the console program
Any way to give statistics of a read when finnished ?

Is there a "switch" for giving a statistics of a disk read when finished - showing bad sectors etc ?

I've found that a huge chunk of archiving floppy disks is just the process of coaxing bits off of a disk.
I always start with a preservation stream dump, and if the kryoflux software fails to decode a sector, sometimes feeding it to a third party program (such as HxC or the tools with the PCE emulator) may decode sectors the that Kryoflux won't.
After that, it is a matter of performing additional inspection, cleanings, and re-dumping of the disk surface until I am sure it won't do any better.
