From the OP's description it sounded to me like a filesystem problem, not a hardware problem. I have had ext3 do similar things (usually after a power outage) though I don't use reiser.
Like I said earlier, OP should use the SMART tools to decide if the drive is healthy.
I didn't think of that when I was reviving the laptop... :-P and now it's back at the user's home.. out of my reach again. I will just cross my fingers and hope it survives until i can get to it again. I made a full backup of all data about a week prior to the fail... so if the drive fails completely, I've got enough to rebuild on a new drive.
