    Installing EMC Powerpath filesets process failed due to "not enough space" (but EXTEND file systems if space needed? was set default yes).

    Why I had to increase manually /usr to successfully complete instalation? As far as I rememeber in the past, installing from smitty, the /usr fs was increase automatically by efault (mentioned option: EXTEND file systems if space needed? yes) then was running out of free space..

    Can it be strictly Powerpath installation issue only?

    Here is an error displayed on smitty screen:
