Which?

Make sure you have cleaned up /var/adm/crash/.

Looked at /var/mail/ and /var/spool/. You could temporarily move these aside and replace by symlink.

Cleaned up superseded patches with cleanup(1m).

You can clean /var/adm/wtmpx, /var/adm/wtmps /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log /var/log/* /var/adm/cron/log /var/opt/ignite/logs you can also clean patch's

You can try also check with as grow in /var in the last five days:

find /var -type f -time -4 -size +1000 -exec ls -al {} \;

After this clean you can increase the /var with on-lineJFS
