Yes, it just does. It should not keep expanding, though.
IMHO, you should still be fine as long as you've got /tmp, /usr/,
/var, and the home directories residing on other partitions. If you're
using /home under / for home directories, you might want to move it to
/usr/home and symlink /home to it.
