Yes, the Solaris OS is in the Drive.
I used it to boot into single user mode to make changes in /etc/system and vfstab
Code:
fstyp /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
ufs

I do not /var in your earlier output. Do you have older output of "df -h" ? Give me output of below command
Code:
du -sh /var
df -h
touch /root/test321
touch /var/tmp/test321
