I do not think that you need to worry about blocks within free,
unallocated, extents showing as corrupted because when Oracle allocates an
extent to a table or index every block in the extent is re-formatted for
that object. Until being reallocated I believe that free extent blocks
contain whatever garbage used to be in them.
