1024 byte-limit on files in $HOME/.?

I'm having trouble setting up passwordless ssh; specifically - I can only setup 2 remote hosts because when I try to add another to my known_hosts file it just won't. More investigation reveals various errors relating to 'No space left on device'.

There is plenty of free disk space; user quotas are not enabled, but yet there seems to be a very small disk quota applying to my $home directory which is affecting the $home/.ssh directory and therefore known_hosts.

I can get su on this machine, and have tried various stuff such as:
quota -v
repquota -va
df (etc)

But no go so far. Any clues? Or anyone experienced something similar?

I should point out I did not setup this SunOS machine and haven't been using it for long, so I may have missed something noobish but haven't had much luck trawling through the forums for answers.
Also, while I cannot append onto known_hosts I can create other files in the folder which contain the data I want to append to known_hosts. So it seems like a disk-usage-per-file-quota or some such bs, rather than a hard 'byte' limit on my $home folder.
So far known_hosts has 2 entries in it, making it a whopping 800 bytes long.

8. AIX

100% Inode full with only 67% FS full.

AIX Version 6.1 and 7.1. I understand that when the OS initially creates the FS and inodes, its pretty strict, but not always tuned to a 1:1 ratio. I see the same thing when adding a whole disk LV to a separate device. It seems that when we expand a filesystem the inodes don't get tuned...

quotaoff

QUOTAON(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						QUOTAON(8)

NAME

     quotaon, quotaoff -- turn filesystem quotas on and off

SYNOPSIS

     quotaon [-g] [-u] [-v] filesystem ...
     quotaon [-g] [-u] [-v] -a
     quotaoff [-g] [-u] [-v] filesystem ...
     quotaoff [-g] [-u] [-v] -a

DESCRIPTION

     quotaon announces to the system that disk quotas should be enabled on one or more filesystems.  quotaoff announces to the system that the
     specified filesystems should have any disk quotas turned off.  The filesystems specified must have entries in /etc/fstab and be mounted.
     quotaon expects each filesystem to have quota files named quota.user and quota.group which are located at the root of the associated file
     system.  These defaults may be overridden in /etc/fstab.  By default both user and group quotas are enabled.

     Available options:

     -a      If the -a flag is supplied in place of any filesystem names, quotaon/quotaoff will enable/disable all the filesystems indicated in
	     /etc/fstab to be read-write with disk quotas.  By default only the types of quotas listed in /etc/fstab are enabled.

     -g      Only group quotas listed in /etc/fstab should be enabled/disabled.

     -u      Only user quotas listed in /etc/fstab should be enabled/disabled.

     -v      Causes quotaon and quotaoff to print a message for each filesystem where quotas are turned on or off.

     Specifying both -g and -u is equivalent to the default.

FILES

     quota.user   at the filesystem root with user quotas
     quota.group  at the filesystem root with group quotas
     /etc/fstab   filesystem table

SEE ALSO

     quota(1), libquota(3), fstab(5), edquota(8), quotacheck(8), repquota(8)

HISTORY

     The quotaon command appeared in 4.2BSD.
