It is definately possible to do this from the VRM maintnace facility,
as I did this once (I wanted to move the file system to another minidisk).
Of course, the VRM M.F. is not the most user friendly :-), but basicly:
1) backup if needed
2) boot vrm install/maint
3) maint shell
4) use help to get the other command names
5) get the minidisk attributes and iodn (list something)
6) delete the iodn
7) recreate the iodn with the same attributes (use change attributes if
necessary, I don't rember)
8) mkfs on the new iodn
10) exit and reboot aix

DISCLAIMER: I did this last summer, but I don't have an RT around here
to check what I said (or get the vrm commands from, for that matter).
