Yes. When you increase minidisk space (unlike SFS filespace limits) the CMS filesystem is not updated.
The typical method to increase the disk space is to allocate a NEW minidisk (e.g. 291) at a new location with the larger size, check the allocation for overlaps with DIRMAP or DISKMAP (DIRMAINT or another ESM will do that for you), only _then_ run DIRECTXA (again, an ESM will do that for you) or risk overlapping minidisk space due to a manual error. Then LINK to that new disk (not ACCESS), use the CMS command "FORMAT", then LINK to the old 191, ACCESS it, and COPYFILE all the files using the "(OLDDATE" option. Once it's all copied, go back to delete the original 191 disk, change 291 to 191, and run DIRECTXA again (an ESM with do the DIRECTXA part). Do that a few times (losing productivity), accidentally overlay an important disk a few times (losing data), and your business case for an ESM is complete ... IF you still have a job! ;-) The point is that the FORMAT command tells the CMS minidisk filesystem how large the disk is. Telling CP (via DIRECTXA) that the disk is suddenly larger still doesn't tell CMS, nor format the added blocks on the now physically larger disk.
