What is "CENTOS repair" ?

Do you mean that you ran a file system check (fsck) and told it to
repair file system damage?

If so, you probably had file system corruption that damaged your data.
Check your hardware for overheating, power problems, failing hard
drives, and defective RAID controller memory.

Urk. Did you make a copy of the damaged database before you started
replacing internal files in it? If you didn't, you might have destroyed
your chance to recover your data.

How recent is your last backup?
