Re: disk corruption?

Jerry,

We had this problem recently on Solaris 2.6 and Oracle 8.0.5, Oracle initially said upgrade to the 8.0.5.2 patch will fix the problem, we ended up upgraded to the 8.0.6.2 to get rid of the problem. Anita is right about the datafile is still intact, it just a read error, you can run dbv to verify it.
