Well, I gave this a shot and everything seemed promising until I mounted the
loop back file.
dd if=/dev/hda bs=512 skip=4670127 count=35461377 of=/big/backup_hda6.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17105949184 Jan 8 22:05 backup_hda6.bin
File size seems about right.
[root@ipso big]# mount -o loop ./backup_hda6.bin /test -t reiserfs
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
or too many mounted file systems
Understandable...
[root@ipso big]# reiserfsck --rebuild-sb ./backup_hda6.bin
reiserfsck, 2001 - reiserfsprogs 3.x.0j
Will check SB and rebuild if it is needed
Will put log info to 'stderr'

Is this ok ? [N/Yes]: Yes
Do not forget to run reiserfsck --rebuild-tree
Seems like it found a backup super block, bitmaps, etc... Though "Filesystem
state ERROR" doesn't look so good, but no errors so, lets try a rebuild.
[root@ipso big]# reiserfsck --rebuild-tree ./backup_hda6.bin
reiserfsck, 2001 - reiserfsprogs 3.x.0j
This is an experimental version of reiserfsck, MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!
Don't run this program unless something is broken.
Some types of random FS damage can be recovered
from by this program, which basically throws away the internal nodes
of the tree and then reconstructs them. This program is for use only
by the desperate, and is of only beta quality. Email
reiserfs@devlinux.com with bug reports.
Will rebuild the filesystem tree
Will put log info to 'stderr'

Uhh, what happened to all the data? And theres no lost+found directory either.
There _should_ be perfectly good data on /dev/hda6, just LVM won't let me access
it. Do any LVM commands modify the data itself? Should this have worked?
Thanks.
