Seems to me if this was a hardware problem, and all the datafiles are on the same LUN, then block corruptions would be occurring in more than 1 file.

Being that this is an index datafile, I would assume that it only contains index segments so it might be worthwhile tracking down which index contains the corrupted block.

What version of Oracle are you running, and is there anything special about this database (Dataguard configuration etc etc)?

Hi all,
I just got a corrupt block again, had fixed a block corruption in a same index file two weeks ago. Don't know why this happened twice in such a sort period.

I tried rman validate and dbverify to detect the corruption, but rman validate did not report any data corruption while dbverify did.

Could anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks,
Lu

The following is the output from rman validate and dbverify.

Using backup validate:

RMAN> backup check logical validate datafile 'F:\ORACLE\ERPPROD\DB\APPS_ST\DATA\A_TXN_IND01.DBF'; Starting backup at 28-DEC-11
using channel ORA_DISK_1

Finished backup at 28-DEC-11

Using dbverify:

dbv FILE=F:\ORACLE\ERPPROD\DB\APPS_ST\DATA\A_TXN_IND01.DBF FEEDBACK0 Corrupt block relative dba: 0x06426321 (file 25, block 156449) Bad check value found during dbv: .......

Looks rman validate did not ddetect any data corruption while dbverify did.
