/extra filesystem is created only with 20GB of storage - to less for storing mulitple vios-images

When attempting to upload a second VIOS installation image to the HMC, an error occurs:

cpviosimg -h xxx.xx.xx.xx -l /src_nim/iso_images -f Virtual_IO_Server_Base_Install_3.1.4.30_DVD_1_of_2_112023_LCD8250111.iso,Virtual_IO_Server_Base_Install_3.1.4.30_DVD_2_of_2_112023_LCD8250211.iso -r nfs -n VIOS_3.1.4.30
There is insufficient disk space on the HMC to import file Virtual_IO_Server_Base_Install_3.1.4.30_DVD_2_of_2_112023_LCD8250211.iso. Remove any unwanted files and try the operation again.

The /extra file system still has about 9.72 GB of free space, the two ISO images together are about 6 GB in size, so there should still be enough space. Nevertheless, the error message appears that there is not enough space available.

Why is the /extra file system created with only 20 GB? There is still about 1.2 TB of free capacity in /dump and /data.

The ability to store VIOS images on the HMC and then install them on the VIOS via the HMC is extremely useful. But if you can only store one VIOS image due to lack of space, then that is not very useful.
