I always find it easier to just do a backup by NAME, boot up the installation
and maintenance diskette, and use the "make a file system" option which asks
you for how many inodes (files). Then reboot AIX and restore your partition's
files. Make sure you do a backup by name, though, or you won't be able to 
restore your files or it will restore the same old minidisk layout and file
system parameters.
