You are probably right about that, but could you also post the result of

  sudo tunefs -p /var

That won't tell us what is in use, but it will confirm whether /var  
was set up with funky parameters or not.  Also, the last time I ran  
out of inodes, the error messages made it clear that that was what was  
happening instead of merely giving a disk full error.

That would be my guess.  I haven't seen a mention of that of the mysql  
lists, but I don't follow the lists closely.   (For the most part, I  
just go and clean out the mail folder they collect in every week or so.)
