最近在帮助用户恢复数据库时遇到了一则罕见的归档日志损坏案例。

    在进行归档recover时，数据库报错，提示归档日志损坏：

    ***

    Corrupt block seq: 37288 blocknum=1.

    Bad header found during deleting archived log

    Data in bad block - seq:810559520. bno:170473264. time:707406346

    beg:21280 cks:21061

    calculated check value: 9226

    Reread of seq=37288, blocknum=1, file=/ARCH/arch_1_37288_632509987.dbf, found same corrupt data

    Reread of seq=37288, blocknum=1, file=/ARCH/arch_1_37288_632509987.dbf, found same corrupt data

    Reread of seq=37288, blocknum=1, file=/ARCH/arch_1_37288_632509987.dbf, found same corrupt data

    Reread of seq=37288, blocknum=1, file=/ARCH/arch_1_37288_632509987.dbf, found same corrupt data

    ***

    信息比较详细，说37288号归档日志Header损坏，无法读取数据。

    提一个小问题：如果你遇到了这样的错误？会怎样思考？

    如果这个归档日志损坏了，其实我们仍然有办法跳过去，继续尝试恢复其他日志，但是客户数据重要，不能容忍不一致性，这时候就只能放弃部分数据，由前台重新提交数据了。这在业务上可以实现，也就不是大问题了。

    好了，问题是为什么日志会损坏？是如何损坏的？

    我首先要做的就是，看看日志文件的内容，通过最简单的命令将日志文件中的内容输出出来：

    strings arch_1_37288_632509987.dbf > log.txt

    然后检查生成的这个日志文件，我们就发现了问题。

    在这个归档日志文件中，被写入了大量的跟踪文件内容，其中开头部分就是一个跟踪文件的全部信息。

    这时一种我从来没有遇到过的现象，也就是说，当操作系统在写出跟踪文件时，错误的覆盖掉了已经存在的归档文件，最后导致归档日志损坏，非常奇妙，从所未见。

    最后我的判断是，这个故障应当是操作系统在写出时出现了问题，存在文件的空间仍然被认为是可写的，这样就导致了写冲突，出现这类问题，应当立即检查硬件，看看是否是硬件问题导致了如此严重的异常。
