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.

Cheers,
Malcolm V.
