Go into var/tmp and start getting rid of temp files. See what is going on in /var/log.
You have to manage some of the directories in /var the same way you do with user directories, by rolling off old files.

inodes are created when you format the disk/partition. So, for example, if /var/tmp is loaded with temp files, consider adding a new disk with lots of free files (inodes), then mount it on /var/tmp.

You can also try growfs to increase the size of the current mounted filesystem. See growfs, and the -i option of newfs.
