If it's corrupt, rebuilding from an emergency boot is your _only_ option.

My next suggestion is: use ext3.  I've moved away from reiserfs and xfs
in the last few years, even though in some cases (like deleting large
files or traversing very large directories) they're far superior, simply
because they're not getting as much love from kernel developers.  ext3
is the most well-tested Linux file system, and i expect ext4 will
continue the tradition.
