Joel, I see that. I used --fs-feature-level=max-features this because I thought that my colleague has a newer version that I have and that he will be able to "consume" all features that my old mkfs.ocfs2 is able to activate. He was not. I know --fs-feature-level=max-compat. That's what I used to get both machines to mount the volumes. But I still want to know which features are available at both of our installations: which features are available for his Oracle Linux 5.something? Which features are available for my SLES 11 SP 1? How do I know that? --fs-feature-level=max-compat turns off a lot of useful features (e.g. sparse), that is unnecessary to turn off because both machines can handle it. I want to know the features both OS' have in common, so that I can choose the right subset of available features when creating a filesystem.
