Apparently you have a huge filesystem (374936503 blocks - about 1.5 TB, if these are 4KB blocks). reiserfsck --rebuild-tree works by reading every data block on the filesystem, finding blocks which look like reiserfs tree nodes and rebuilding the tree from that nodes - so it would take a long time, even if the volume was almost empty. > If I mount the filesystem, there are no files in it. > What can I do?

Try to add some swap space - then reiserfsck might eventually complete. AFAIK, the only way to recover reiserfs after --rebuild-tree has been attempted is to run "reiserfsck --rebuild-tree" to completion.
