Does ocfs2 support spare files?

Specifically:

dd if=/dev/zero of=el5dbtest3.db.img bs=1024 seek=35000000 count=0

on a ext3 filesystem takes almost no time at all to run, and is  
clearly sparse.  The same command on a ocfs2 mount takes minutes, and  
df reports the space as used.


(I'm using this with OVM Server 2.1.1)


--- I just googled the question, and it seems that it *should*  
support  the spare file, as the patches were submitted over a  year ago.
