Where do you find it? :) Oops. :) At least in reiser4 they don't have, or at least you can't access them. ln -s foo bar; cd bar/metas shows me the content of foo/metas. symlinks are special anyway. Their rights are 777. The only thing they can have is an owner. No chance to do a symlink/metas/uid then.
