Hi Birkir,

You maybe forgetting that your export will fail once it comes across one of
the corrupted blocks !!

You need to fix the corruptions which depends entirely on the nature of the
corruption, what's actually corrupted, are the objects re-creatable, is the
corruption in your backups (else restore and recover of datafiles could be
an option), database version (dbms_repair), can you afford to lose the
corrupted data, is it in a LOB (nasty but solvable), investigate block
dumps, etc. etc.

I've fixed plenty of corruptions in my time and it's usually a case of
horses for courses.

But exp/imp is unlikely to be your solution.

Good Luck

Richard
