This is disturbing and clearly indicates that Oracle did not test this patch on VxFS, which is the most widely used filesystem. Another thing that I find amazing that this patch is still available for download. It should be immediately taken off from Metalink.

with Veritas FS                  

        Metalink 405825.1                  

        Applies to:

        Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 10.2.0.3 to 10.2.0.3

	Oracle Server - Standard Edition - Version: 10.2.0.3 to 10.2.0.3
	Solaris Operating System (SPARC 64-bit)
	Oracle Database Server 10.2.0.3
	Sun Solaris Operating System
	Veritas Filesystem
	
	

	Solution

	Until a patch for this bug is available, or 10.2.0.3 for Solaris

is re-released, you should restore from backups made before the attempted upgrade. Do not attempt to upgrade again until a fix for this issue is available. Bug:5747918 is published on Metalink if you wish to follow the progress.

                We are one of the lucky shops to use a lot of Solaris & Veritas. Kinda makes me wonder what caused such a big problem.... Is this an example of "a butterfly flaps its wings in Asia, causing a hurricane in the West"?

                And, wow, the Solaris patch is a whopping 1.2gb!
