chfs: /dev/loglv11 is not a jfs2 log type

Why is this error showing? loglv11 is jfs2log though.

you need to run the logform to be able to use the log

logform -V jfs2 /dev/loglv11

Oh and i forgot to mention this as taken from the man of chfs

If a file systems is mounted at the time chfs is called to change the outline log, the /etc/filesystems will show the change, but the actual log will not be changed until the next mount for the file system (which follows a umount operation or a system crash and recovery)

you should unmount the filesystem and remount it again!
