Unless your patch is basically a 54GB self-extracting zip archive or works by downloading 163 GB over the net, which would take a few days, I don't think you're going to run out of disk space, so that's very unlikely to be the problem. FYI, if you have problems converting a number of 1K blocks into actual disk space, run 'df -h' rather than 'df'.
