This means what it says - you have run out of inodes. Do df -i /var
and you will see all your inodes have been used up.

The number of inodes is fixed at newfs time. This really leaves you
three options:
 1.You can either find some files on /var which are no longer wanted
and delete them, thus freeing up inodes.
 2. You can dump the file system, and recreate it using a
different-than-the-default inode density. man newfs and look at -i for
full information.
 3.You evidently have lots on space on /home so move a lot of files
(preferably a single directory containing lots of file) to /home from
/var and symlinking it.
