Yes, it has. But another (old) partition does not have ATTR2 enabled. And the error is the same when I try to set ATTR2. And the funny thing is, after that, version report ATTR2 as set. All my partitions have been created on RHEL5 (some are even older). On a new partition (created on RHEL6) I can set ATTR2 over and over again without any error reported.

In fact it was the first thing I tried: can the filesystem be be mounted if I add attr2 is in fstab. And I was able to do so. Still, ATTR2 was not reported for the partition I was talking above (without ATTR2 reported by version). But that's not the point. I see an error message here "Superblock has >>mismatched<< features2 fields". And another one ">>failed<< to set versionnum in AG 1". Still, xfs_repair does not see anything wrong with the filesystem. So who's wrong? xfs_repair or xfs_db? An most important: it's possible in the future to loose some data?
