Don't even worry about it. Status U-B IS the same as the old F status.
The reason it was changed is so that the onlog utility can dump these
logs if you want to see their contents. Onlog cannot dump a status F
log since F is also the status of a newly added and enabled log file.
The status of any backed up logs will change to F if you bring the
engine all the way down (onmode -ky) and back up again, but again why
bother? The status of a log whose status is U-B is changed to F
immediately before it is reused and changed to U--.
