No JOKE! the 10.2.0.3 3QCPU patchset added almost 4GB to .patch_storage during the install. HP and AIX were both 4.5-5GB+ making the OH almost 9GB.
But when your SAN(s) is(are) measured in PB, that's not that much :) We are reclaiming that storage now that we have started installing 10.2.0.4 which included all of those patches and the entire directory structure was reduced (once again) to around 3.5-4GB for all 3 environments.
