I used the LiveCD, and let reiserfsck run against the unmounted
partition. Now option --fix-fixable was honored. Diagnosis was:
| free block count 539903 mismatches with a correct one 542063. 
| on-disk bitmap does not match to the correct one.

I was told, that the bitmap was _not_ corrected; I could either use
option --rebuild-tree <argh> or live with a leakage of 2160 blocks.

I chose to lose a handful of blocks (0.4% of 4.8GB) and keep all my
data. No more lengthy checks at system startup. I'm satisfied. End
of story.

Best regards,
