You can try to mount -o remount,ro and reiserfsck it.
If you can not even remount it readonly - you have to boot of rescue CD,
active lvm, and reiserfsck.

If you can not do that either
find /reiserfs-mount-point -type f -exec cat {} > /dev/null \;
if it works without problems - filesystem has reasonable consistency

As long as filesystem is mounted - it is ok.
