Apparantly, it's a bug: 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=416662

When i do what's mentioned in the bug report, i can get the service to 
start. When i create a filesystem (mkfs.ocfs2 -b 4K -C 128K -N 4 
home_fs), i get an error:

ocfs2_hb_ctl: The block size is smaller than the sector size on this 
device while reading uuid
mount.ocfs2: Error when attempting to run /sbin/ocfs2_hb_ctl: "Operation 
not permitted"

Anyway, i'm getting closer :)
