Why not running oracle on your linux box? What IS your strategy? What are you importing when you get corrupt data blocks? This being the (somewhat) longer version of the answer to your 'rethink strategy' question.

No I'm not using samba to transport files I have an Oracle 9 instance = running on NT=20 that has its dbf files hosted on linux via Samba -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@freelists.org [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@freelists.org]On Behalf Of Eric Buddelmeijer Sent: 22 November 2004 12:03 To: oracle-l@freelists.org Subject: RE: Samba and 10g - and NT I think you missed the upgrade to 10G. I believe the rman files in 10G = are transportable (and usable) over different operating systems. In 9.2 they = are not. And although you use samba for transporting files, oracle knows = nothing about that and creates NT-files when you make a backup and tries to read Linux files when restoring the database.=20 If you do upgrade to 10G, you can also use transportable tablespaces = which are transportable over operating systems (only in 10, not in 9.2) if the tablespaces are 'self contained'. See http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/10gdba/week16_10gdba.html = for a first look on the TTS feature. Maybe the answer to your last question is yes, rethink ;-).
