Note that changing the magic name (dynamically or
even by recompiling) can create a confilict with an *exisiting* file on a
reiserfs4 partition (the file could have been created when another name
was magic). The FS code should be ready to handle it, preferably giving
some escape route way to access the colliding file (e.g.
``foo/my_metas/escape`` could give access to the file known as ``foo/my_metas``
before you changed the magic name to ``my_metas``).
That is a very good point, and I think your solution is the right way to get around it.

Of course, now that we have funding for views, when that is completed you will be able to specify a view that cannot access metas.
