Do you have a time when you could safely move the indexes to a new table

Thanks Andrew! That was a good idea. However, the time was of the essence, so
I had to be a bit more creative. I used "backup as copy datafile 36", then
switched to the copy and lo and behold, the corrupt blocks were absent from
the copy. The only thing left was to drop the original copy of datafile, copy
the correct one back from +FRA to +DATA and switch back to the +DATA
diskgroup. Essentially, "backup as copy" seems to eliminate the corrupt empty
blocks. I learned something tonight.
