That all depends on what you mean by "stable". Reiser is certainly capable of high uptimes, but Reiser doesn't have a good history of working well with older UNIX tools/systems like NFS, due to Reiser's newer methods for handling inodes and such. If this isn't a problem for you, Reiser should work very well for you; it works great on my /var partition, which handles my Squid proxy. I don't use Reiser on my /home partition though; that FS has the user directories exported through NFS, as well as Samba. In fact, I use SGI's XFS on my /home partition, and that works well too. The main advantage to using XFS is that it handles NFS _really_ well, and it has certain features Reiser doesn't, like extended attributes, and access control lists. YMMV, but Reiser seems stable for just that one specific duty . . . I'd recommend trying Reiser, JFS, XFS, and maybe even Ext3 to get a feel for how stable each is for your particular needs.
