Would it have worked to create another undo TS, alter system set undo =
TS=3Dx?, drop old one?

A failure of a hardware RAID controller (driver, perhaps) caused this
(along with GBs of trace files):

Its quite amazing that a database, healthy or otherwise, can be
dropped in under a minute."Gone in 60 seconds ..."

I knew about the feature, I just thought that I would never use it.
Obviously, this is not a production system.
It is useful for testing backups, though.
