We have block corruption in Oracle RAC ASM environment. We are evaluating to 
setup oracle parameters to debug/prevent block corruption when it happens next 
time. Did any one used _db_writer_verify_writes parameter? I was in impression 
that it helps to direct the DBWR to re-read every block after it writes it out 
to make sure the write operation did happen as planned. I didn't find much 
information in Metalink.

We are also evaluating setting up DB_BLOCK_CHECKSUM parameter. I would really 
appreciate if you had any lesions learned with these parameters (like 
performance degradation, etc)
