I've used Stacker (2.0 I think) for about 6 months will 0 problems.  No
lost files, not corrupted files.  I've got a 200 meg drive with a 1 
non-stacked drive and five 25 meg stacked volumes (which ends up being
about 50 megs after stacker).  The partitioning was kind of stupid, but
I didn't partition it (partitioned by a relative who set the system up
for me) and it works, so I leave it alone.  

The only problem I can whine about is there are a couple of apps that don't
want to work with a memory manager and when that's the case I usually have to
disable stacker to leave enough low memory free to run those apps (as well
as load the app on my non-stacked partition).

My .02 worth,
Chris
