Tru 64 5.1A DS10 - stubborn about returning deleted file space

Hi Managers,

Our DS10 5.1A (AdvFS) system sufferred a filled file system or sytems.
When discovered, there were messages scrolling by on the screen about
unable to write files.  Logged out of the non-priveledged account and
tried logging in as root, but the login prompt would just return without
logging us in.

Eventurally, we halted the system and started in single user mode, ran
bootchk, then deleted what we normally delete (basically log archives),
to free up space.  While df didn't show true, I remembered seeing
something about it using quota and that it could be wrong. Now du did
show, some improvement, no longer maxed out at 100%, but still was
around 97%.  
We've deleted pretty much all of the logs, including the web server
logs, and files not needed, but for some reason it doesn't appear to
free up much space.  

When we shutdown and restart, it tries to login (the non privelege
account is set to login on reboot), but after the webserver loads it
just appears to hang writing to nohup.out.  Starting this from single
user mode shows that at this point it's telling us that it doesn't have
enough space in /usr/tmp.  That's weird because /usr/tmp is pretty much
bone dry now.  Ok, so it might just be /usr, but I don't see what can be
taking up the space. 

Does anyone have any advice on this?
