This has been fought over on the reiserfs-list ad nauseaum, but it's a valid point. That's why I tend to rename metas/ into ..metas/ to avoid name clashes, even if I've never had a directory named metas/ apart from what Reiser4 ships. It is then debatable if it should be renamed before it's too late, have it renamable in the kernel configs (and the name exported via /sys or something) or just leave it be. -- mjt
