Hobbit (4.2 Solaris9) made the whole disk partition out of game because of "out of inodes" fail. Disk partition is 3.8Gb , used 1.7 Gb, available 2.1Gb. The directory /opt/hobbit/data/histlogs/ keeps huge amount of historical data about each hobbit client.
In my configuration I keep to the default values for history events.
What shall I look after, and which variables should be tuned  to avoid that fail in the future?   
Hobbit never deletes history-logs by itself. You can use the
"trimhistory" utility to remove old logfiles, or you can just setup a
simple "find /home/hobbit/data/histlogs -mtime +90 | xargs rm" cronjob
to wipe all history-logs older than 90 days (or whatever you prefer).
