Dennis,

We've already located all the objects affected by the block corruptions.  
Fortunately, they all seem to be in indexes and summary tables which we can 
recreate.  All in the same tablespace, all on the same disk.  db_block_checksum 
is set to true.

The plan is to create a new tablespace on a new disk and move all the 
uncorrupted objects to the new tablespace and recreate indexes and summary 
tables.  Is it enough to move with 'alter table move' or do we need to go for 
exp/imp?

Database version is 9.0.1.4.  Maybe they'll use this opportunity to upgrade :-)

Thanks,
Gudmundur
