Hello,
reiser4progs] fsck.reiser4 commands fail to repair file system [1] is the
reason I ask for this.

[1]

 --build-sb
 --build-fs 
 --fix

e.g
# fsck.reiser4 --build-sb --build-sb /dev/sdb
# fsck.reiser4 --build-fs --build-fs /dev/sdb
# fsck.reiser4 --fix  /dev/sdb

# fsck.reiser4 --fix --help
Usage: fsck.reiser4 [ options ] FILE
Fsck options:
  --check                       checks the consistency (default)
  --fix                         fixes minor corruptions
  --build-sb                    rebuilds the super block
  --build-fs                    rebuilds the filesystem
