Important Notes
The permissions of vxfs_cmd.log will not change immediately after running the vxtunefs command.
Some data must be written to the vxfs_cmd.log file after the command is run for the new permissions to take effect.
To force this update, customers can run:
/opt/VRTS/bin/vxtunefs <mountpoint>
This ensures the new permissions are applied to the vxfs_cmd.log file.
Applies to : VxFS 8.0.0.2900, 8.0.2.1600 onwards and InfoScale 9.0 onwards
