Hi,

strange stuff. I found an older thread of Bakunin where it had something to do with some problem related to ML/TL/SP levels.
I also found this:
IBM - IY75479: LOGREDO FAILS TO REFORMAT LOG 05/10/18 PTF PECHANGE

1st thing I would try is to delete that FS (LV will be automatically destroyed then too) and create it anew and check if the problem still persists.
You can use the following for that:
Code:
rmfs /bancs_cards
mklv -c1 -t jfs2 -y lvbancscards vg_idc1 160
crfs -v jfs2 -d /dev/lvbancscards -m /bancs_cards -Ay

2nd I would try to update the ML/TL/SP and hope it is gone after that.

3rd I would tend to just stop the applications if possible, umount all FS of this VG cleanly and use a logform to format the loglv. Then mount all of them and see if the new one can be mounted too. Have a backup ready of your precious FS'es/data - you never know... Smilie

4th I would call my service provider.

Glad to hear - I guess something went wrong when creating the LV & FS first, maybe a "wrong" option or something else. Whatever, you can usually create them the way I wrote or via smitty if you like.
