I'm not sure how many people are using evms with ocfs2 but the latest release of evms is hard-coded to check for ocfs2-tools version 1.1 I've patched it locally to check for version 1.1 and higher if anyone is interested. I'm also working on an init script and ebuild for gentoo, if anyone wants a copy.
