Just a thought.... some actions such as vi open the file in a different location as a temporary location while it is being worked with. I had this same thing and it turned out that the temp location which was on a different partition was full....so it wasn't that where I was was full...just where the file was temporarilly saved while I worked with it was...
Might not be anything to do with - but worth checking. Really depends what you were doing when you got the error.

Hi All,
There was a background process running on a Solaris 2.8 machine, and appeared to have filled all available disk-space. I done a killall, and upon re-booting found that the file system had filled up, and will not boot as normal as a result. For example, I'm getting

genufi(8) System Manager's Manual genufi(8)
NAME
genufi - Generates a User File Inventory (UFI) file
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/genufi
DESCRIPTION
The genufi utility creates a User File Inventory (UFI) file that contains the names of user files created or copied to your system after an
installation. Some of these files reside on file systems that are overwritten during a new installation of the operating system. You must
have superuser privileges to run the genufi utility, and you must invoke the genufi utility from the /usr/.smdb. directory.
To create the UFI file, the genufi utility checks the Master Synchronization Inventory (MSI) file created by the invsync utility to deter-
mine which file systems will be overwritten by a complete installation. The genufi utility searches those file systems for user files and
writes these entries to the UFI file. File systems that remain intact during a new installation of the operating system are not searched.
The genufi utility also filters out certain files and directories that would not commonly be considered for backup. For example, some log
files, installation files, and temporary directories do not need to be restored after a complete installation and are not written to the
UFI file.
The following directories are not included:
/tmp /tmp /usr/.smdb. /usr/sys/HOST /var/adm/smlogs /var/adm/syslog.dated /var/rwho /var/tmp
In the previous list, HOST represents the hostname of the system (such as /usr/sys/BLUTO) on the system named bluto.
The following files are not included:
*/core */*.dummy */.new.. /osf_boot */.profile */.proto.. /var/adm/binary.errlog /var/adm/xdm/xdm-pid */vmcore /*vmunix
Edit the UFI file to remove the entries for files and directories that you do not want to back up. The UFI file is written in the setld
inventory file format. Refer to the stl_inv(4) reference page for more information.
RESTRICTIONS
You must have superuser privileges to run the genufi utility.
You must invoke the genufi utility from the /usr/.smdb. directory.
