Hi People...
got a following "dead of alive" question:
how to find a root block on a ReiserFS partition
with a corrupted superblock?
reiserfsprogs-3.x.0.9j simply writes -2^32
there at start (reset_super_block) and then simply
crashes when attempting to access to such mad place
... got nearly lost my main partition ...
sorry for bad english

The reiserfsck ---rebuild-tree will find the root block for you. Now that
you've rebuilt the super, run with --rebuild-tree and it should find
everything.
