The corrupted partition /dev/sdc1.
Which partition contains reiserfs which got corrupted? Is it root
filesystem now?
It was initially a reiserfs as i told you and he remounted it as ext2. It is
not a root filesystem it is a storage partition

Meanwhile I've run reiserfsck /dev/loop0 (an image of the corrupted
filesystem that we transfered to another host) to which i get the error
Bad root block 4294967295. (--rebuild-tree did not complete)
And reiserfsck --rebuild-tree /dev/loop0 fails with No reiserfs metadata
found
thanks again
