 I'll look at the tunefs issue. But the other one does not make sense.
 strict_jbd is a compat flag. Mount should work. What is the mount
 error? As in, in dmesg.

I don't see any dmesg or /var/log/messages, but the error I saw was from tunefs:

demodb01 root /home/ulf # /usr/bin/yes | /sbin/tunefs.ocfs2 -U -L /export/u07 
/dev/mapper/u07 
tunefs.ocfs2 1.2.7
tunefs.ocfs2: Filesystem has unsupported feature(s) while opening device 
/dev/mapper/u07

 compatible with OCFS 1.2.9

  We are running into a problem which looks like the same we had with
  fsck.ocfs2 a while back. This is with ocfs2-tools 1.4.4. I am trying to use
  tunefs.ocfs2 to turn off some features. The program starts up but then
 starts
  eating all available memory and more and the system starts to swap like
 crazy
  in and out. This is exactly the same behavior as the fsck.ocfs2 for which
 we
  were given a patched binary.
 
  I tried to compile the tunefs.ocfs2 from 1.6.x but the same problem with
 that
  binary.
 
  Ulf.

So that is correct. In short that flag was added to allow us to use the
jbd(2) features. We use this to create volumes  16TB.

I guess if you want to use with 1.2, format it with 1.2 tools.

That is what I ended up with. And I also made a point to certain people in the 
company about not stopping in the middle of upgrading database servers.
