Good for you. I still would not trust my data (and I now know that I should
not) with an fsck that says:

  **********************************************************
  ** This  is  an  experimental  version  of  reiserfsck, **
  **              !! MAKE A BACKUP FIRST !!               **
  ** Don't run this program unless something  is  broken. **
  ** Some types of random FS damage can be recovered from **
  ** by  this  program,   which  basically   throws  away **
  ** the internal nodes of the tree and then reconstructs **
  ** them. This program is for use only by the desperate, **
  ** and is  of only beta quality.  If you are using  the **
  ** latest  reiserfsprogs  and  it  fails  please  email **
  ** bug reports to reiserfs-list@namesys.com.            **
  **********************************************************

Or do you have non-experimental version and one that actually works properly?
