The ability to expand into unused space is not as useful as it could be
if you cannot easily *shrink* filesystems as well.  Few of us have the
luxury of having lots of unused disk space waiting around just for the
flexability of exanding a filesystem.  I understand this ability to
shrink filesystems will be in a future AIX release.
