Hello,

I'm new to aix.  After rebooting my server I am unable to mount one of the
filesystems.  It keeps saying that the device log cannot be located.  The
device log /dev/lvlog00 does not exist.  How can I go about recreating this?
TIA,

-Wazir

create a new log device in the volume group that this file system resides in:

mklv -t jfslog VGname 1
(if you want to specify a disk to put it on, specify it after the 1 )

make sure that the log device is closed:
lsvg -l VGname (look for the JFSlog you just created and check to see if it is
closed)

format the log device:
logform /dev/NEWlogdevice
(answer yes to it when it says Destroy log?)

chfs -a log=/dev/NEWlogdevice /File_system_name

mount /File_system_name

Check to see if the log device its complaining about even exists:
lslv existing_log_device_name
It could be affecting other file systems in this Volume group

Hi,
sure it doesn't say /dev/loglv00??
You dont't give much information about you setup. Which file system is it
and in what volume group.
If it's in your rootvg then it's a problem in you /etc/filesystems. Go in
there, find the file system and change the log to /dev/hd8.

If it is not in your rootvg what does lslv loglv00 say?? Does the log
actually exist?? It's really odd if a log would just dissapear (??) but if
you're absolutely sure that it is no longer there (and used to be) you can
make a new one with 'mklv -t jfslog -y loglv00 vgname 1'

But to me it sounds like a mismatch between you VG and /etc/filesystems.
Possibly someone moved the LV??
