Since after transferring image to IDE made reiserfsck to not fail (and it failed on raid5 due to raid errors,
I think), your "if it still fails" statement was not adequate.
Current problem is that not everything is restored and some important files were lost.
Now, I know that recently we introduced some serious changes in reiserfsck and now
if the block have some slight corruption, it is not immediately discarded, but fsck actually
tries to extract some useful data out of it if it think this is really reiserfs metadata block.
That's why newer reiserfsck might achieve better results.
