Just a short note, it is possible to recover (some of) a toasted reiserfs partition (eggs, bacon or otherwise). I don't have a full link, but this comes from a (the??) reiserfs mailing list. (They first suggest you make a copy of the filesystem and mount that on a loopback, fine for those of you with the spare diskspace...) reiserfsck --rebuild-tree --scan-whole-partition <reiserfs-partition-here> This recovered ~85% of a partition I managed to scramble by formatting it as a ext3 partition.
