I have experienced Filesystem full (%iused = 100%) as below. I have tried to remove a lot of garbage but it still become full soon.
Code:
# df -F ufs -o i
Filesystem　　　　　　 iused　　　 ifree　 %iused　 Mount

/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3　　 1887　　 382113　　 0%　 /cms

Other information as below:
Code:
# df -k
Filesystem 　　　　　 　 kbytes 　　 used　　 avail　　 capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 　 4130982　1260659　 2829014　　 31%　　 /

Something must be writing a large number of small files to be taking up all your inodes. Maybe do a search of the newest files, and see what's filling it up.

Example: This would list the files written in the last 7 days.

find / -name "*" -ctime +7

Quite the opposite. That will list all files whose ctime is older than 7 days.

find / -name "*" -mtime -7

Var is in different file system or same in "/".

du -ko /|sort -n | more

it will give large files.
