Seems a good & clever fs. From a Suse Terminal:
P4-2656:~ # fsck.reiserfs /dev/hda6 --rebuild-sb
reiserfsck 3.6.9 (2003 www.namesys.com)

Will check superblock and rebuild it if needed
Will put log info to 'stdout'
Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes if you
do):Yes
rebuild-sb: You either have a corrupted journal or have just changed
the start of the partition with some partition table editor. If you are
sure that the start of the partition is ok, rebuild the journal header.
