increasing file system

Hi,
on /dev1 I have 50Gb, on /dev2 I have 5Gb. How can I give the 50Gb to /dev2 and give back 5Gb to /dev1.
Many thanks.
PS : OS is AIX

If yyou have no data already in the two filesystems simply reverse the mountpoints (in /etc/filesystems).

If you have data already there: back up the filesystems, drop the logical volumes, recreate the LVs properly, create filesystems on them and restore the backups previously taken.

If you are of the adventurous type and you are on 5.3 you could try the new FS-shrinking facility i believe to be there, but even if it is possible I wouldn't recommend trying it without a working backup.
