Can I somehow get pg_dump to "ignore" that block and dump everything else?
The traditional solution is to zero out the bad block, eg using dd from
/dev/zero. It's easy to zero more than you intended, so practicing on a
scratch copy of the table is recommended.
But first you should check what kind of relation that is. If it's an
index, you could just REINDEX it instead.
So it is "just" blocknumber * blocksize .. offset, blocksize of zeroes.. ?
Or is the math harder?
