ReiserFS drive that has been formatted mac

I have a drive that was Reiser FS and is now formatted for Mac. I need to recover the Reiser Partition Files. Can anyone recommend software that runs on mac that can recover these ReiserFS files. I have also got access to a linux ubuntu machine if there is some good software for that operating system.
Thanks
sime

There is no decent recovery software for ReiserFS, for any platform

I agree with Doomer However you can try one or all of the following:
option a) You can give UFS explorer a try I believe they have a mac version, but don't expect great results.
option b) Or you can send it to someone who can reconstruct Reiser FS, but it will be costly.
option c) you can try and contact Hans Reiser for some help

Unistal's dedicated reiserfs software has worked for me in one case in the past.

First make a clone.
Under Linux/knoppix do a
fsck.reiserfs /dev/sdax
where sdax is your partition.

Why the necessity for an application within MacOS?
