Running Oracle 8.0.5.2 on Solaris 2.7

When performing a full export of the database last night, I received the following error:

EXP-00056: ORACLE error 1115 encountered
ORA-01115: IO error reading block from file 12 (block # 262144)
ORA-01110: data file 12: '/apps/ora_disk04/PROD/prod04.dbf'
ORA-27072: skgfdisp: I/O error

SVR4 Error: 25: Inappropriate ioctl for device Additional information: 262143

I did my research, and have yet to find the reason for this error. I also tried to run the dbv program against the hotbackup of this particular datafile, but because it's 2 Gigs in size this utility does not seem to work...
Always get DBV-00100: Specified FILE <> not accessible (and I recieve this error for any file that's 2GB in size).

TIA for any help Received on Wed Apr 19 2000 - 00:00:00 CDT
