Ocfs2 devel - Mar 2004 - Fail to create OCFS volumn on the hard disk via a QLA2312 fiberchannel card.

/dev/rawctl is part of the "raw block device" driver interface.  You
need to turn on the raw device driver option (CONFIG_RAW_DRIVER) in your
kernel build.

I have always created a new file system from my 2.4 kernel (that has all
possible modules built and properly configured to load when needed), so
I don't know for sure if mkfs.ocfs will work correctly after turning on
the raw block device driver on a 2.6 kernel, but it should.
