Dennis
Find the lob index name from user_lobs. Find the file_id,
block_id and blocks associated with the lob index using dba_segments.
Dump the blocks in those extents using alter system dump command.
Realize that if you have huge lob tables, then your lob index might span
many extents too. So, dumping all the blocks in that segment might
create a huge trace file.
Hope that helps,
Thanks

Thanks Scott and Riyaj. Now a really simple stupid question - How can I dump the lob index??
I can find the index through the dba_lobs column. But I'm wandering around in the dark here trying to figure out how to dump the index. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

Dennis, The last 10 bytes 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 0c 08 3b is the lobid and the key into the lob index. This is not a rdba or a dba so that is why your query won't work. You will have to dump the lob index to retrieve the rdba where the actual lob is located. You will need will need to look through the lob index dump for column value that contains the lobid and above that value you will see a another 32 byte value and the 17th-20th bytes are the RDBA for the LOB segment.
Hope this helps,
Scott
