Daniel,
I run a couple of pretty busy squid caches on a reiserfs partition using
aufs. Linux's thread support is good enough for AUFS to be stable.
My caches are running squid-2.5, and it hasn't hit release yet,
so I keep a good eye on them - even though they've not memleaked or
crashed in weeks. :-)
