Issue

When trying to install a patch, the Patching Tool fails with a java.io.IOException regarding file space despite having enough space in the mount or drive where Liferay resides:

Environment

All Liferay versions

 

Resolution

Check the amount of space in your operating system's temp folder, such as /tmp. The Patching Tool uses the temp folder to temporarily store back up files when running an installation. If you don't have sufficient space in your temp folder, this can still cause the file space java.io.IOException.
