(stable branch) Message-ID: <20001229220820.C28926@sigrid.schuldei.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.12i To: unlisted-recipients:; (no To-header on input)@pop.zip.com.au Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org 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: http://ban.joh.cam.ac.uk/~adm36/StegFS/download.html the error happens at make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/fs/stegfs' cc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=686 -c -o inode.o inode.c inode.c: In function `stegfs_read_inode': inode.c:1376: structure has no member named `i_version' inode.c: In function `stegfs_update_inode': inode.c:1785: structure has no member named `i_version' please cc me, I am not on this list. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
