Hard turning off the system is indeed the right choice. Using a file carving utility on the raw device or backup is another possibility to the attempt to restore the fs. ReiserFS doesn't provide any undelete feature and such a feature isn't needed a all, provided you keep backups.

You might try SystemRescueCd.
