The first one means that /var/* got full. The second one usually comes
from running `tunefs -o TIME', but the tunefs(8) man page states that if
the fragmentation on a filesystem gets too big that it will switch
automatically.  You must run /var near full all the time so the
fragmentation is bad. 

You might consider moving high traffic directories like /var/mail over to
/usr and symlinking it across.
