As said before I was very much asleep when I ran the fsck command. It
should have been hda2, not hda1.

Btw, hda1 contained an ext2 filesystem which was not mountable and not
recoverable after running all the fsck.reiser4 commands on it. Can't
blame it I guess :-)  Luckily it was only /boot and thus easy to
recover.

I managed  to reboot the machine and mount the fs. Some files where
corrupted, but on the whole the fs seems fine now. So a big thumbs up
for this release of fsck.reiser4 :-)

Btw, I blame the corruption on the combination kernel and a forced
hard-reboot during shutdown (it hung).

Again, thumbs up. This all made me much more confident wrt Reiser4.

With kind regards, Sander
