PCA doesn't do space checking. It's not that I wouldn't have thought 
about adding it, but I never found a reliable method to compute the 
required space, especially without extracting all patches before 
starting installation (like the cluster does).

With patchadd using temporary space (/tmp, /var/run), making (multiple) 
backup copies of replaced files it's hard to find a reliable and 
provable method to compute required space.

The good thing is that patchadd (which PCA uses for the actual patch 
installation) usually deals fine with interrupted patch installations, 
not leaving any partly installed patches.
