What are the fsck options for ReiserFS?  Last time I used ReiserFS a 
--rebuild-tree parameter to fsck could not be used on a read-only mounted 
file system - which made it quite inconvenient if that was needed on the root 
file system.

Another issue of ReiserFS is that if you use a loopback mounted ReiserFS image 
on a ReiserFS file system then fsck will really mess things up.
