Error Enabling Journaling with diskutil enableJournal diskXsX

Question

I have few large backup volumes built specifically as HFS+ with Journaling disabled but now I notice problems where we have to wait very long time for hfs_fsck to complete its checkup and have decided to go back and enable journaling but keep getting errors. Here is more detail:
After I ran:
sudo fsck_hfs /dev/disk14s3
And it completed without problem then I ran:
sudo diskutil enableJournal disk14s3
Which gives me following error:
An error occured journaling the filesystem
Checking volume info it shows:
File System: HFS+
Owners: Enabled
Partition Type: Apple_HFS
Bootable: Is bootable
Media Type: Generic
Total Size: 9.2 TB
Free Space: 548.3 GB
Read Only: No
Ejectable: Yes
I have unmounted and mounted this volume without problem and have tried different variations of "diskutil enableJournal xxx" but everytime I get same error. I've also "Disk Utility" Enable Journaling option with no success and have tried diskutil with "sudo -s" option and tried "diskutil disableJournal xxx" and it shows:
Journaling was already disabled on the volume
I have another similar volume that has 2 TB available space and am getting same error not enabling journaling. First volume has around 85,000 files and second one close to 800,000.
Appreciate any input?

Answer 1

I'm able to enable journaling on all other volumes under 2TB beside those large ones (9TB). I've tried "mount_hfs -j -c /dev/disk13s3 /Volumes/BadJournal" and when I ran "diskutil info disk13s3" it shows File System is "HFS+ Journaled" which shouldn't be the case and after I ran "disktool -r disk13s3" it reverted back and showed HFS+ only. I've also ran multiple hfs_fsck, diskutil repairDisk, and reboot which don't show any problem and still not able to enable journaling.
Could this be a limitation of diskutil not able to enableJournal for 9TB volumes or volumes with large number of files?
Appreciate any help
