So it's my fault, as e2compr patch is against 2.1.130. I will downgrade
and see.

What I can't understand is why this happens only with this partition.
There are four partitions. Almost all the directories on them are
compressed. The only difference is that /dev/ide/hd/c0b0t0u0p7 is usually
empty and that I use it only for compiling not for keeping files. I often
run mke2fs on it after compiling. So running mke2fs on a partition
containing compressed files may have something to do the error.
