Re: check for (empty?) blocks which leads to ORA-8103 in a datafile?

I assume, Oracle does not initiate any blocks within a datafile before it uses it.
In my particular case, oracle tries to get a block, but instead it's a valid block, it's empty.
The error in the logic is (I still guess) not to report it as 'broken' but as 'not used anymore by _this_ object' - which leads to ORA-8103. (In my idea, there should be the knowledge 'if it should ever have been part of an object, but now it's empty, something went terrible wrong. But this could leasd also to some strange situations)

but as a totally 'empty' block is a valid block for dbv, it doesn't report this as an error.

thank you for your effort,
