Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production
Linux 3.14.27-100.fc19.x86_64

Ultimately, I want to get the I/O error fixed, but I need to try and understand what I am seeing.

While developing an Apex application, I am getting:
Unable to create the Report page.ORA-01115: IO error reading block from file (block # ) ORA-01110: data file 2: '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/XE/sysaux.dbf' ORA-27072: File I/O error Additional information: 4 Additional information: 105600 Additional information: 12288

So now the first thing I wamt to do is to backup my db. using Export, I get most of it, but it also confirms that there is a problem:

ORA-31693: Table data object "APEX_050100"."WWV_FLOW_LIST_ITEMS" failed to load/unload and is being skipped due to error:
ORA-02354: error in exporting/importing data
ORA-01115: IO error reading block from file  (block # )
ORA-01110: data file 2: '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/XE/sysaux.dbf'
ORA-27072: File I/O error
Additional information: 4
Additional information: 105600
Additional information: 12288

This is the problem I need to fix, and the chase begins.
There is no db backup to restore the dbf from, so after a lot of surfing I decide that rman is the correct way to investigate.

RMAN> validate database;

Additional information: 4

Additional information: 12288

RMAN> list failure;

no failures found that match specification

Don't know why RMAN doesn't see an issue.
The next thing I look at is if i'm out of disk space

$ df /u01
Filesystem                     1K-blocks     Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_locutus-lv_root  51540604 23708076  27291944  47% /

That seems good. Next look at filesystem permissions

$ ll

-rw-r-----. 1 oracle dba  104865792 Mar 25 14:44 users.dbf

Again, ok. More surfing. Next I look at the alert log, and find (among others)

Is it possible there is a problem with the log files ?

Now, this is confusing, because there are more log files than oracle has configured.
Are these junk, or does this point to the root cause. Can these logs be used to rebuild my dbf file?

BTW -I was impressed by the content of your first post here.

Welcome aboard!

>ORA-19501: read error on file "/u01/app/oracle/oradata/XE/sysaux.dbf", block number 105600 (block size=8192)
If I were you, I would determine exactly which object resides at block# 105600 in SYSAUX.DBF file.

The fact that you have no backup & database was not in ARCHIVE mode, reduces the chances of any successful recovery or work around.

Was the DB doing lots of DML today?

It appears your filesystem is network/nfs mounted/some lv is involved.
If so, I would first double check those mounted options, ulimit etc.
What kind of filesystem is this?

Thanks !
The posting guidelines are pretty easy to follow, and writing the post helped me organize everything I was doing.
Pretty light DML. basically I was creating an apex app, and just a little data to amke it interesting.

As for the offending object(s), I have two answers.

Answer #1 : When Exporting, the utility complained as follows. Don't know if that's the only affected object or just the first one.
ORA-31693: Table data object "APEX_050100"."WWV_FLOW_LIST_ITEMS" failed to load/unload and is being skipped due to error:
ORA-02354: error in exporting/importing data
ORA-01115: IO error reading block from file  (block # )
ORA-01110: data file 2: '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/XE/sysaux.dbf'
ORA-27072: File I/O error
Additional information: 4
Additional information: 105600
Additional information: 12288

Answer #2 is a section from the alert log that lists about 200 indexes :

Index APEX_050100.WWV_FLOWS_IDX_AUTHENTICATION or some [sub]partitions of the index have been marked unusable
Index APEX_050100.WWV_FLOW_APP_GRP_IDX1 or some [sub]partitions of the index have been marked unusable
Index APEX_050100.WWV_FLOW_COMMMENTS_IDX1 or some [sub]partitions of the index have been marked unusable

...


Index APEX_050100.WWV_PURGE_WORKSPACES_IDX2 or some [sub]partitions of the index have been marked unusable
Index APEX_050100.WWV_PURGE_WORKSPACES_IDX3 or some [sub]partitions of the index have been marked unusable
Index APEX_050100.WWV_PURGE_WORKSPACES_IDX4 or some [sub]partitions of the index have been marked unusable
Index APEX_050100.WWV_PURGE_WORKSPACE_RESP_IDX1 or some [sub]partitions of the index have been marked unusable

And just to summarize where I'm at, it's the "orphaned" redo logs i'm trying to understand - is it a red hearing, or a part of the issue.

Joe.

To sort out the logfile issue:

You have two logfile groups, each of which as one member. THose are the files reported when you query v$logfile. The other files in the directory are just some old junk that happens to be hanging about, and are nothing to do with this database.
THe messages in your alert log regarding checkpoints are warnings, not errors. THey may indicate a performance problem. To fix it, you need to replace your two tiny logfile groups with a greater number of larger groups, perhaps four groups with 200MB members. However, I wouldn't bother to do this. Instead....

It is not possible to fix your corrupted datafile problem, because you have no backup. However, the APEX tables in SYSaux are not irreplaceable. What I would is a Data Pump export of you APEX workspace schema and an APEX export of your APEX workspace and applications. If that succeeds, create a new database and import. If the APEX workspace/application exports fail, then we can think again.

APEX_050100.WWV_FLOW_LIST_ITEMS TABLE is sitting on BAD BLOCK (27085).
This is the first time in 2+ decades doing Oracle that I have DBV report Fatal Error.

Are you actually using APEX in this database?

Does OS messages file report any disk problem?

One possible work around is as follows below.
1) do a clean & orderly SHUTDOWN of Oracle database.
2) take OS copy of sysaux.dbf file
3) delete sysauxfile.dbf
4) copy file made in #2 back to original name
5) run dbv again to see what happens.
