Public bug reported:
In at least 11.10 (likely 12.04 as well, however...), the ocfs2-tools is
behind what the 3.0 kernel is creating on disk. This can be seen
trivially by attempting to examine the locks on an ocfs2 filesystem:
===# debugfs.ocfs2 -n -R "fs_locks" /dev/dm-1
Debug string proto 3 found, but 2 is the highest I understand.
The 1.8 tree in the ocfs2-tools git repo includes support for proto 3.
That set of tools should probably be distributed with 11.10 and up, so
that the tools match what the kernel is providing.
Not having the tools match up to the kernel makes things very difficult,
like trying to debug locking issues.
