I noticed, when applying multiple patches, I would eventually be told I was out of space on /. There was about 60M free which is plenty for a kernel and a copy. Rerunning syspatch would allow it to continue for a another handful of patches.
Mucking about in checkfs(), it seems that the value of the space needed for a partition is not cleared and accumulates for each patch. Afer a few kernel patches, the number grows 10M at a time and I'd eventually be told I didn't have enough space. I honestly have no idea how the magic works that _d can be the disk device name in the for loop (line 99) and then be the space required in $((_d)) (line 103) so I don't know how to fix this. However, if at the top of checkfs you set _d to "sda0" and echo $((_d)), you'll see the old value is still there. _d="sd0a" echo "magic = $((_d))" Below is my debugging output. You can see "magic" has a value when output at the top of checkfs and _sz keeps accumulating. I do an ls and a df when it errors out. Sorry it's a mishmash of my debugging instead of a patch... Hopefully it's obvious to someone who knows ksh well enough. Tim.
