Lately, my production databases have often reported Corruption issue which turns out to be a false alarm. The error that shows up in alert.log is usually:

***

Corrupt block relative dba: 0x04811440 (file 18, block 70720)

Bad header found during buffer read

Data in bad block -

type: 112 format: 0 rdba: 0x0000000a

last change scn: 0x4e00.00000000 seq: 0x1 flg: 0x00

consistency value in tail: 0xebcd0601

check value in block header: 0x0, block checksum disabled

spare1: 0xb, spare2: 0x0, spare3: 0x0

***

Reread of rdba: 0x04811440 (file 18, block 70720) found same corrupted data

 

If I restart the database, the error is gone. Until then the error repeats each time someone tried to access above block.

It has happened in 3 different databases on separate servers running 8.1.7.4 on Solaris 8. No errors in unix logs or SAN logs.

Any clue? Oracle did not see any corruption in blocks/files etc.

I want to turn on db_block_checking and db_block_checksum to true (OLTP db with 20% writes). Is there any problem with that in terms of corruption handling and load on the box?

I am planning to relink oracle just in case.

Any help would be appreciated.
