First, you need to shrink your root (/) volume.  This will shrink it
to 10GB, but you can change that if you'd like, just change the "10G":
lvresize -rL 10G  /dev/mapper/vg_acertm-lv_root

Then, you can grow your home (/home) volume much in the same way:
lvresize -rL 40G /dev/mapper/vg_acertm-lv_home

Remember, hard drive operations can eat babies, so do have backups.
