Can I set a file system to automatically increase in size?

I am new at this and was using FTP to mget some files. The FTP hung
and I had to kill it. Did "df -k" to see the file systems and /home was
100% full. Used "chfs -a ..." to increase the size.

If I give the file system a lot of space can I take the space away at a
future time?

thanks,

-Steve

Sure, just write a little script

If it is AIX 5.3 and JFS 2 the answer is yes.

in my FTP example, where FTP hung because the file system was full, how
do I get the script to run automatically so that the FTP process can
continue on its way?
