Hi all

On my side I have a some Jseries running 9.3 (R1 not R2) with only 256Mb of Flash without problem

As I can remember, the upgrade has done using the command:
"request system storage cleanup"
And 
"request system software add no-copy unlink ----- reboot"

Objet : Re: [j-nsp] Update failed on J-Series

My experience with upgrading on the J-Series is as follows:

In order to UPGRADE to 9.x you will need 512MB - that is you need enough space in flash to store AND expand the 9.x code during the upgrade and 256MB doesn't seem to cut it (even after "request system storage cleanup" etc).

If however you already have a box with 9.x on it, I have had success with running a "request system snapshot media removable-compact- flash"  to copy a working image back onto a 256MB flash, but clearly if you do this, you're going to have to go through the whole process again next upgrade (and you will have to physically visit each site to drop in flash cards etc).

Do yourself a favour and grab some 1GB compact flash cards (though not from Juniper) and make this issue go away for a few years - until JUNOS doubles in size again!

I actually dont know why. I can just say I had the same experience as you until I upgraded my flash to 1 1G flash (even though 512MB would have been enough). With a larger flash the whole update worked fine.

Cheers
