"bread: Cannot read the block (18)."
Well, now this is something.
Do you have I/O errors messages in kernel logs, or do you know another reason for
it to fail reading 18th block?
Perhaps try to run "badblocks -b 4096" to find out if there are more blocks
that cannot be read?

We accept money too ;)

Well, there is http://namesys.com/support.html , as of features, usually
we expect customers to come up with features they need. If you lack something
in reiserfs and you are willing to pay, we can implement it.
If you are happy with the current features-set, why to pay for features that
would be never used?
