After trying to solve this for some hours, I guess to have reached the maximum file numbers, or maybe there is some hidden space filling the partition. I've just cleaned manually the yum cache, and /var went ok.
Keep in mind that default FS creation reserves 5% (?) for root. On GB- sized drives, very wasteful. I always reduces to 1% or so.
As I understand it, having an ext3 filesystem more full than that isn't a good idea -- you risk ending up with serious fragmentation. Think of it this way: on gigabyte-sized devices, you should easily be able to spare 5% in exchange for more efficient operation.
