Most of the time any errors from '-xv' are not good. I realize
you're probably not in the best situation, but in a perfect world you'd
have a separate, trustworthy host around (my Spidey sense says there's a
hardware issue, but that's conjecture) so I personally wouldn't trust
that server any more.

Then rebuild your database from the last checkpoint, subsequent journals, and
the current live journal if you can get at it, plus all the library/archives in
your current server's P4ROOT.

Considerations for the future:

* maintain a second offline db using daily rotated journals, on the same host
but different disks, so you have a copy lying around at any given moment to
restore from
* secondary warm standby replica of master server so you can (theoretically)
point users to a new host or have DNS switched over
* if you're not already, daily journal rotations and at least weekly
checkpoints, backed up or sent to another physical location
