Maybe initdb was executed? That would cause the files to disappear.
Of course, so would the data; it would have to be restored from a

Note that these files use only 2 bits per transaction, so in 24756 bytes
you have enough room to cover 99024 transactions. Furthermore, they
always grow in 8192-byte increments.
