root partition was full and problem start

We have SunOS 5.7 m/c. Following is the situation and problem what we are facing -

- The root partition was full.
- No login was possible on server (not from console also)
- M/c was power swithced off
- After this only console login is possible. FTP is possible. No telnet is possible.

I want to know what could be the probable reasons. Also what files I have to check on the server to see that they are in normal state.

Regards,
Rahul
