	This basically says that your filesystem does not support sparse
files, but it does have a hole in an inode - which shouldn't happen if
sparse isn't supported.
	Can you send the output of "debugfs.ocfs2 -R 'stat <23693699>'
/dev/sdh1" and "debugfs.ocfs2 -R stats /dev/sdh1"?

	What patch?  Do you have a link?  Without knowing the patch I
can't tell you whether that patch affects you.

	If you have the appropriate support, you should call support and
file that way.  Support will also want the information I requested
above.
