Corrupt datafile stopping RMAN
The database has remained up despite a corrupt OS datafile. The net effect is my usable backups are days old as I did not catch this rightaway. I want a full RMAN backup but there is a single block that keeps hanging it up. I tracked it down to a single row in a table with 2 CLOB's. I have since been able to CTAS where id <> badrow, I fixed the bad rows so that I can CTAS all rows. I can now EXP the table and have an EXP of the entire Database transferred to another machine.
If I instruct RMAN to accept a corruption and continue does this mean it will fail to restore properly on the other machine? I thought rman did not backup unused blocks so I am a little confused about why it is still trying to back this one up.
unix cp datafile fails
dbverify bombs
rman bombs
EXP is able to backup the database. Here is the RMAN bomb without attempting
run {
set maxcorrupt for datafile 5 to 10;
backup...;
}

RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on Ch_1 channel at 04/01/2004 10:28:48
ORA-19501: read error on file "/ora/data/blprod/jupiterd_m01.dbf", blockno 72193 (blocksize=8192)

Anyway to find objects still using block 72193 and do some more surgery?
Thanks
Another idea - The most obvious solution is to use the old backup, restore it and then roll forward all of the archive logs, I was getting archive log write errors and could not tell if they were related to the standby or more local disk problems. But that should not preclude looking into it as that is a backup before the corruption. As long as I have the logs I should be ok.
