Can you be certain there isn't some application somewhere that uses
/mount/.meta ?

I would prefer that we not litter the namespace with magic filenames.
Any more than it's already littered.

I'd prefer an xattr over a file. And something that's sufficiently
random that it won't collide (high probability) with an application
file. E.g. a uuid created with `uuidgen -r`
