I try to use the Steganographic filesystem stegfs on top of a 2.2.18 kernel,
while the stegfs patch was against 2.2.14. The patch applied allmost clean,
but that was easy to fix.
However a real problem (for me) is that the author (whom I can not reach by
email) build stegfs on top of the ext2 filesystem. There he uses ext2's inode
structure and at some places reads/writes from ext2 inode's i_version.
However, this is not there in ext2_fs_i.h. But I am working with source for
2.2.18 and a lot could have happend since 2.2.14. I would not have expected
the inode struct to change, though.
Why was it taken away? How is compatibility maintained? What could I use
instead to fix the problem?
Anyone who is interested in this:

the error happens at
