fs seems to be ok fsck-wise:

# mount -o remount,ro /.3
# reiserfsck /dev/sdc3
reiserfsck 3.6.11 (2003 www.namesys.com)

*************************************************************
** If you are using the latest reiserfsprogs and it fails **
** please email bug reports to reiserfs-list@namesys.com, **
** providing as much information as possible -- your **
** hardware, kernel, patches, settings, all reiserfsck **
** messages (including version), the reiserfsck logfile, **
** check the syslog file for any related information. **
** If you would like advice on using this program, support **
** is available for $25 at www.namesys.com/support.html. **
*************************************************************

Will read-only check consistency of the filesystem on /dev/sdc3
Will put log info to 'stdout'

Do you want to run this program?[N/Yes] (note need to type Yes if you do):Yes

However, there is one strange thing: I cannot umount it.
Why? There is no open files.

# umount /.3
umount: /.3: device is busy
# lsof -nP | grep -F '/.3'
# lsof -nP | grep -F 'sdc'
# uname -a
Linux pegasus 2.6.14.6 #1 SMP Mon Jan 30 08:46:20 EET 2006 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux
