I have heard rumours of it causing data corruption on 2.4.x kernels,
including 2.4.3.

I have never had a problem with it myself though...

I have also been warned not to use Reiserfs on the root partition, as
sometimes the computer might not be able to boot. So I have reiserfs
on /home. Using it on /var/spool/squid should also be safe (the worst
that could happen is you loose all of Squid's cached files).
