I have a 320 with a damaged block map on /usr, also bad inodes on / fs.
Aix is ver 3.1.0000.0000
I have been doing extensive experimenting with this and a 730 (it's the only
way to learn *B^) and assumed *I* did something nasty. The problem is not
evident on the 730 (but it's 3.1.0001.0003).  There has been no system load,
only me playing. RAM is 16Mb, (should be 24, but IBM replaced the 8 with a
16 instead of adding it) & 320Mb disk.
