You need to list your filesystems with sizes...
/(root)
/var
/usr
/opt
/home
/stand
Most likely these are not under the Filesystem / and should not be imho, but can be on the same disk as /.
My advice is to look for any devices in / that you may have inadvertently created a tar and > it to a device name instead of > to a tape device...
I ahve seen it where folks do this:
tar -cvf ... ... > /dev/rmt/0mn or similar to a disk device by accident...
Try this command in /
du -k |sort -rn then go to the dirs under / that are large and narrow down where the large files are located....

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... (5 Replies)

mkdevalloc
mkdevalloc(1M) System Administration Commands mkdevalloc(1M)
NAME
mkdevalloc - Make device_allocate entries
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/mkdevalloc
DESCRIPTION
The mkdevalloc command writes to standard out a set of device_allocate(4) entries describing the system's frame buffer, audio and removable
media devices.
The mkdevalloc command is used by the init.d(4) scripts to create or update the /etc/security/device_allocate file.
Entries are generated based on the device special files found in /dev. For the different categories of devices, the mkdevalloc command
checks for the following files under /dev:
audio /dev/audio, /dev/audioctl, /dev/sound/...
tape /dev/rst*, /dev/nrst*, /dev/rmt/...
floppy /dev/diskette, /dev/fd*, /dev/rdiskette, /dev/rfd*
removable disk /dev/sr*, /dev/nsr*, /dev/dsk/c0t?d0s?, /dev/rdsk/c0t?d0s?
frame buffer /dev/fb
All entries set the device-minimum and device-maximum fields to the hex representations of ADMIN_LOW and ADMIN_HIGH, respectively. The
device-authorization field is set to solaris.device.allocate, except for the framebuffer entry, where it is set to *. The device-name,
device-type and device-clean fields are set to the following values:
device-name device-type device-clean
audio audio audio audio_clean_wrapper
tape mag_tape_0,1,... st st_clean
floppy floppy_0,1,... fd disk_clean
removable disk cdrom_0,1,... sr disk_clean
frame buffer framebuffer fb /bin/true
