Max,
Just set the root of the MFS from a client to whichever goal you want using the "mfssetgoal" command. Any newly created directories or files will inherit from its parent. To illustrate the behavior:
$ mkdir test
$ mfssetgoal 1 test
test: 1
$ cd test
$ touch test_file1
$ mfsgetgoal test_file1
test_file1: 1
$ cd ..
$ mfssetgoal 3 test
test: 3
$ cd test
$ mfsgetgoal test_file1
test_file1: 1
$ touch test_file3
$ mfsgetgoal test_file3
test_file3: 3

Mfschunkserver, and mfsmetalogger have the same configuration variable and the same requirement of having a writable data directory.
