you can detect the data block corruption using the DBVERITY utility.
DBVERIFY is an external command-line utility that performs a physical data structure integrity check on an offline database. It can be used against backup files and online files. Integrity checks are significantly faster if you run against an offline database.

Restrictions:

DBVERIFY checks are limited to cache-managed blocks. It’s only for use with datafiles, it will not work against control files or redo logs.

The following example is sample output of verification for the data file system_ts_01.dbf. And its Start block is 9 and end block is 25. Blocksize parameter is required only if the file to be verified has a non-2kb block size. Logfile parameter specifies the file to which logging information should be written. The feedback parameter has been given the value 2 to display one dot on the screen for every 2 blocks processed.

$ dbv file=system_ts_01.dbf start=9 end=25 blocksize=16384 logfile=dbvsys_ts.log feedback=2

DBVERIFY: Release 8.1.7.3.0 - Production on Fri Sep 13 14:11:52 2002

Output:

$ pg dbvsys_ts.log
