ok, I did the reiserfsck and it works flawlessly. No errors no problems no hang. I tried mount afterwards and it still hangs. Is there some recent change around the mount procedure itself? maybe it is really unrelated to reiserfs and 3ware...

PS to Marcelo: There is a problem with 2.4.22-pre3. I cannot mount a reiserfs data-partition with 320 GB size located on a 3ware RAID. It just hangs the box, during init or any runlevel I tried. It is completely reproducable, but debugreiserfs on the partition and reiserfsck both show no problems at all ... The things mounts flawlessly under 2.4.22-pre2 and below.
