Thanks for your advice.
Failed to open the filesystem.
If the partition table has not changed, and the partition is valid and
it really contains a reiserfs partition, then the superblock is corrupted and you need to run this utility with
--rebuild-sb
Warning... fsck.reiserfs for device /dev/ROOT exited with signal 6.
* Filesystem coulddn't be fixed : ( [!!]
The cure for this is simple, but not quick, and permanent.
unmount /dev/hdxn (if mounted) mke2fs -j /dev/hdxn tune2fs -c 0 -i 0 /dev/hdxn reinstall software on /dev/hdxn
I encountered exactly this same problem. reiserfs lost its marbles
after changing unrelated partitions via fdisk, and there was no way to
use the reiserfs partition again.
The cause of my havoc differs from yours. It happened only after running 'emerge -u world' and rebooted automatically. I strongly believe 'upgrading betagenkernel' is critical which was also done automatically without asking a question.
Can I copy files from /home/user directory by attaching this Gentoo hard drive as slave to another Linux box? Or is there any other ways to get back the files in that directory.
TIA

So, I reverted to ext3, and I will never touch reiserfs again. ext3 doesn't loose its marbles.
