No space left, but disk is not full

An app logs "No space left on device", yet df -h shows the disk is only 40% used. Given the output below, what is the cause?

$ df -i /var
Filesystem      Inodes   IUsed  IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/sda2      3276800 3276800      0  100% /var

A.The disk has bad sectorsB.The filesystem is mounted read-onlyC.The process has hit its open file limitD.All inodes are used, usually by millions of tiny files such as session or cache files
