	Which version of AIX are you talking about?

	If you're talking about AIXV3, the answers are (a) no and (b) no. :-)

	Eg, you cannot change the block size.  4K is it.  And, the only way
	to bump up the number of inodes is to extend the filesystem (which
	will give you more data blocks and more inodes).  You cannot increase
	the number of inodes without increasing the size of the filesystem.

	Inodes will always occupy 3% of the filesystem's total size.
