There are two AIX JFS filesystems, JFS1 (the original JFS filesystem)
which is supported in all versions, and JFS2, which is supported in AIX 5
and above.  JFS1 has never supported online (nor offline) shrinking;
you have to delete and recreate the filesystem.  JFS2 doesn't support
online shrinking either.

# chfs -a size=-1 /xxxxxxxx/container20
chfs: 0506-908 Cannot reduce size of file system.
chfs: 0506-944 Execute module "/sbin/helpers/jfs2/chfs" failed.

Cheers,

Leigh.
