Its also possible this system had syslog turned off. Its the only way I can think of where the system remain up but with no logging taking place.
Now, that being behind us, I thought it odd that he used the same system to setup the new database. If I read it correctly, all that was done was remove all database binaries and data.
I think it would have been better to re-install afresh. This was especially important as the root cause is still unclear

From the thread, I see that this was solved.
Unfortunately it is too late to do this diagnostic: cd /filesystem_in_question; df -h .
When I find "everything" missing, it usually means that something caused the volume containing the filesystem to unmount, leaving the directory entry on the / or root location. If that is what df -somearg . reports when in the directory, then umount, mount usually fixes the problem, unless the contents were in flux, in which case you may need to fsck the filesystem.
Glad you had a standby, sorry the root cause remains a mystery.

We had some very bad storms in the area last night and this morning our database server appears to have been wiped almost clean (the server did not fail or reboot - uptime was 17 days). The oracle software is gone and the database files are also no longer visible. The server was setup with logical volumes and they all appear to be empty. Has anyone had something similar happen? Opening a ticket with Red Hat, but figured I would hit the list to see if I get a quicker response.
