AFS on AIX however reserves 8% of disk space for inodes, so you need to
restart the fileserver process and use the -m option to specify a different
percentage of space to reserve for inodes.  The fileserver man page has a
blurb about it.  We ran into this ourselves and set it to 4% and didn't have
a problem.  We could have set it even lower.
