It would be a lot easier if you used punctuation but yes, chfs -a size=+<size> /fs will increase your filesystem.

Huh? How does /tmp have anything to do with chfs?
And /tmp can usually be cleared out but where did this comment come from?
And my, it's frustrating there's no easy way of quoting posts...
The chfs command in AIX uses /tmp while changing any filesystem size. It creates a temporary a file and deletes it during the operation. If there are no free blocks or inodes available in /tmp, chfs command fails.
You can see this by tracing the process using a truss command.
The usage of /tmp might be encoded in the program and I am not sure how to override it. I couldn't see any environment variable referring to /tmp as well
