boot log files

Hello,

I am working on a liveupgrade

bash-2.05# lustatus
Boot Environment Is Active Active Can Copy
Name Complete Now On Reboot Delete Status
-------------------------- -------- ------ --------- ------ ----------
first_disk yes yes no no -
second_disk yes no yes no -


I am trying to boot from the second_disk

luactivate second_disk
init 6

But it boots from the first_disk... There is a problem for sure but I can't find the log files so I don't know what went wrong.

Do you know where can I find the log files for that boot attempt? Would they be on the first_disk or second_disk?

Thanks,
Zafer
