Booting into my desktop this afternoon, I got the above message after 
activating swap and fsck'ing the root filesystem.

Some other messages:

Reiserfs super block in block 16 on 0x302 of format 3.6 with standard journal
Blocks (total/free): 1024143/318178 by 4096 bytes.
Filesystem is clean
fsck died with exit status 4
Root file system check failed with error code 4.

The output says running fsck.reiserfs with --rebuild-tree is required.

This is an old 40G drive.  I bought an 80G drive this afternoon, and am 
considering using Timo's CD to boot the box, then creating a reiserfs partition 
on the 80G drive, of the same number of blocks as in the 40G, and using 
ddrescue to copy the partition contents.

Anyone with experience with fsck.reiserfs who can alert me to any gotchas?  
I've read that I should also run fsck.reiserfs with the -S option as well as 
with --rebuild-tree, so the entire partition is scanned and the process won't 
halt on finding an error.

I have the output of fdisk -l /dev/hda (hda2 is /) saved in an old email.

Thanks in advance.
