Why not have more than one interface if you need that? Is there any reason for not supporting the standard that is in the kernel now? Reiser 3 supports it.Sorry, it seems I was too vague.

The latter method is not implemented yet, and I don't know how stable sys_reiser4() API is currently. Hans is the proper person to ask.
