You need an ocfs2 from Linux 2.6.27 or newer. Are you using
such a kernel?

This looks right. It doesn't throw you an error.

If your kernel driver doesn't understand inode64, it isn't new
enough. Where did your kernel driver come from?

What do you mean by most recent version of the kernel driver? Do
you mean any version of ocfs2 1.4? ocfs2 1.4 does not have the support
for this.
Go get 2.6.32. Compile, install, and boot it. You will now
have support for your large volume.
