Bad Blocks ORA_01578

We gave two Oracle servers. Version 7.1.6 and Version 7.2.2.4., on an RS/6000 with AIX v4.2. The disks are FWD by Seagate. We use the servers mainly in client/server mode. With tools ranging from BRIO query to Oracle Card. Both servers are mainly datawarehouse applications.

Our problem, we have gotten Oracle BAD BLOCK erros over and over again. We move the tables and indexes all over the disks (each server has 12 of them), and drop and recreate them in many different tablespaces. STill we get these errors.

The kicker is, many times the file number and block number reported doesn't have a bad block. We know because we use Oracle's method for scanning a block by it's HEX record id.

Does anyone else see this problem? ORACLE Support people seem as baffled as we are.

Thanks for any help!
