RE: Corrupted data blocks in tablespace SYSTEM

Kevin,

Try exporting your schema owners (code, tables, etc.) as a CYA.  When you recreate the db, you can import each schema separately.  A pain, but it will save you.

I have attempted a full export and received the following message:

EXP-00008: ORACLE error 1578 encountered
ORA-01578: ORACLE data block corrupted (file # 1, block # 2660) ORA-01110: data file 1: '/u02/oradata/TIE/system01.dbf' 

Since the corruption resides in the SYSTEM tablespace, it seems that the course of action that should be taken is to re-create the database.

Kevin,

   Check DBA_EXTENTS to see what kind of segment is corrupted. If it's a table or a cluster, you have lost. Otherwise there is a chance to recover the database. In any case try a full export.
