I calculated this number recently - your syspool need to have ~ (DownloadSize x 6) of free space.. For typical ON upgrade, it could be 600MB...900MB. To be on a safe side, always check that 'zfs list syspool' command shows >= 1GB of AVAIL > rootfs to be for the mirror to be safe about using apt-clone.
