Back it up to tape, then,

# umount /dev/u

# mkfs /dev/u numofblocksinfilesystem:65550

Then restore the tape when its done.

The :65500 indicates to the make filesystem command the number of i-nodes
you want to allocate on the filesystem. You can only have a maximum of
65500 (or something around that) per filesystem.
