Can you tell more about workload which caused the corruption?  Also, we like
to know reiser4 verion, kernel and hardware configuration.

If there was no fs activity (file creation/deletion) after "build-sb",
you can erase blocks ##19, 20 on the fs:

backup:
dd if=/dev/hdd8 skip=19 bs=4096 count=2 of=hdd8.19-20x4k.dat

erase:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdd8 seek=19 bs=4096 count=2 conv=notrunc
