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.

        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!
