If you run out of inodes you can't create new files - that might be 
interpreted by something as running out of disk space.  Resolution is 
tricky as you need to rebuild the filesystem (dump, newfs with more 
inodes, restore).

That doesn't seem to be the case here (1334620) remaining, though why 
you have the -ve %iused I do not know.  Something not right there.

Dunno, sorry,
