XFS *is* stable now, as long as you don't do a "don't do that" thing like two MDs on top of each other (to get RAID0+1) and then apply LVM on top of it :-) But for XFS it still remains the truth that you better be keeping up with the stable kernels (2.6.13.2 right now), buglets are still being found here and there, while ext3 is even more stable (but buglets still show up every few releases). Also, XFS guarantees data (as oposed to *meta*data, which is the filesystem structures) *only* after a fsync or sync returns. Ext3 guarantees it always (and thus, cannot help but be slower than XFS for non sync operations). I have no idea about raiser3. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
