If mounted.ocfs2 -f shows the rebooted node, that means the slotmap
has not been cleaned up as yet. That cleanup happens during node
recovery. If the volume is still mounted on another node, it will get
cleaned up momentarily.

If however it does not get cleaned up, that means that the volume is
not mounted on any node. In that case, the next mount will clean
up slotmap.

Either way one does not need to fsck just to cleanup the slotmap.
