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.
First, congratulations on getting the funding!
Second, I'm curious! Would views enable disambiguating conflicted names
from plugins?
Thanks,

Indeed, meths is plural of meth which is (rare) synonym for a meath,
a mead, Russian m'od:

A sweet liquor; mead. [Obs.] --Chaucer. Milton.
On the other hand, both those Chaucer and Milton blokes have

Good point, search engines as evidence. The problem is you're only
looking at distributions, which are going to be highly similar and you're
completely missing end users. So let us take this to a full search engine
and see what turns up... Hmm, roughly a million hits, let us look at a

Grant You mean /sys/fs/reiser4/metas? :P
My /sys doesn't even have a fs subdirectory. So I'm pretty sure I mean
/proc (unless you can tell me why it should be in /sys. But AFAICT /sys
deals more with accessing hardware properties.).

these problems will not exist significantly in reality. Look at netapps
and snapshots and clearcase and other filesystems, I remember wondering
if .snapshot could be a problem when netapps were new and it was never a
problem.

I do not disagree that it is unlikely. However, it is
still possible, so my question remains: what happens
in the scenario I describe?
Hi
What happens now is open() returns EEXIST (file exists) error; reiser4
can't make the file. Is this what you mean?

Also I feel it should be on the file itself. ie for the file /tmp/fooblah
you should be able to access the file's metadata by open()ing/using
readdir() on /tmp/fooblah/metas or (/tmp/fooblah/..metas or whatever).

This discussion is spiralling out of control. There
is far too much misunderstanding. A discussion
summary is in order.
PROPOSALS:
1. Leave the metas directory as it is, for storing
the meta data hierarchy.
2. Rename metas to:
a) ..metas
b) @
c) +
3. Revise the architecture so that instead

I think someone suggested putting meta file information in /proc.
So. Is this a bad idea? I think not.
