I start by "init 1" to get to single user mode. As /storage (the corrupted partition) is in fstab, I then execute "umount /dev/hda8".
At that point, I tried running fsck. I had overlooked a word in my last attempt (this is my first time of needing fsck). It is running in read-only mode; I have no idea why. I tried "fsck /dev/hda8" and "fsck -r /dev/hda8", but it makes no difference, it's running read-only. I may be able to fix it if I can get past this. The partition in question is a Reiser file system. The log file is too large to attach, but the relevant lines are
vpf-10640: The on-disk and the correct bitmaps differs. fsck.reiserfs /dev/hda8 failed (status 0x4). Run manually!
Try reiserfsck --fix-fixable /dev/hda8 If that doesn't work, then try reiserfsck --rebuild-tree /dev/hda8
