reiserfsck is *not* "very dangerous". If you don't run it with the --rebuild-tree option, it's very unlikely to do any harm to your system, and the tree only needs rebuilding in extreme cases of corruption. In fact, reiserfsck does a very nice job of keeping your FS in good condition after crashes. It's only possible to use it on unmounted FSs (in common with other fscks), which is why you need to boot into the rescue system to fix your main partitions.
