If you have indexes on the table, any type of DML activity will have redo 
generated from the indexes (even if you do direct path load). 
It is better to drop indexes (if at all feasible) before doing any bulk direct 
path loading.

How are you inserting the data?  Just because a tablespace is in
NOLOGGING mode doesn't mean INSERTs aren't logged, that only applies
to direct-path/append INSERTs.  UPDATEs will always be logged
regardless.
