RE: Determine Number of Blocks Corrupted
you can use the DBVERIFY utility to check the corruption in datafiles so that you can now number of blocks corrupted.Here is the procedure :
On o/s prompt login as oracle user :
$ dbv file= 'datafile name'

now in the output check for the line ' number of pages corrupted' . It tells you about the number of datablocks corrupted in that datafile.
