/: write failed, file system full

Sun server 4

Getting message /: write failed, file system full.
Okay so the problem seems obvious. The file system is full.
This server is used for DNS and DHCP on a T1 connected WAN. I can't get it to quit displaying the same message as above, even when powered down and restarted.
So essentially can't administer it until It stops. How? Also what files Resolv.conf for DNS?

Clean out your system log files and your temporary files... that should give you enough disk space to work on your file system.
