Is /var/ on a separate file system? It sounds like there is just a massive amount of files there, if /var is split out then you can move all other data off of /var and reformat it, and copy the data back.
Otherwise perhaps just run rm -rf havp and wait till it finishes, maybe take a few minutes, hours, or days.
Do you know what havp is? I'd suggest finding it's configuration and fixing it so it doesn't create so many files.

Thanks nate for ur immediate reply
really apprecite
by the way i had tried to rm -rf havp but it was jus takin a real long time actually the var partition is on different file system but the partition also servers as a data for our ftp server
i will try to move the data
but was jus wondering if somethin easier could be there to solve it
as of now after disabling the cron script the systems being workin fine for almost a week with no problems
but have to find the solulation for the problem
Is this really a (normal) side effect of enabling mandatory locks on the file system as havp claims to require? (And the reason that unix-like systems rarely use mandatory locks)?
