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.

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.

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

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.

As tunefs.ocfs2 wasn't working for us, I tried to mkfs.ocfs2 the volumes again 
with --fs-feature-level=max-compat. This still turns on strict-journal-super 
and there seems no way around this? This makes the volume not compatible with 
OCFS 1.2.9

[Ocfs2-users] Problem with tunefs.ocfs2, similar to fsck.ocfs2 on EL5

2011-09-25 Thread Ulf Zimmermann
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.
