A hunch, but have you tarred anything to a device lately? I find that it bites Solaris folks a lot, when they use the incorrect syntax, it silently fills up /dev by tarring to a file called <x> instead of the device <x> represents.
If df -k says its full, it 99.9% is certain it is. You might also try fsck'ing the partition for the heck of it.
