No real world experience with Reiser here, but I don't think this will work very well. What Reiser does is keep track of the changes it is going to make, applies the changes, then marks the transaction completed. What you are talking about is recovering lost information from something which is supposedly already committed. These two are very different. What you need is either a very exhaustive disk check with the bad blocks marked out or a new HDD. MB
