Hi List, env: Oracle 9.2.0.8 Solaris 9 v$database_block_corruption reported logical corruption for three datafiles. I ran "backup check logical validate database" which completed without any error. dbv also reported corruption for all three datafiles. I did not set maxcorrupt in RMAN so I assume it is set to default 0 (Is there any way to check this setting?) Last night RMAN full backup completed without any error. When I checked, corrupted blocks does not belong to any segment in two tablespaces to which these three files belong. (I used dbs_extents to map corrupted block to segment) This is production database so I am concerned. 1. Why "rman backup check logical validate database" does not report any error? 2. What are my options? I assume these blocks are marked as soft corrupt. Is there any way to repair/reclaim them? 3. Am I correct to assume that if I do not do any thing these blocks will not be used ever and will not cause any issue in future? Your valuable guidance is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Mayen
