What's "eating" my inodes?

Hello --

Solaris8/64 bit
SunCluster3.1

3 shared ufs filesystems between the 2 nodes

Local Volume Manager = SVM
Vxvm manages shared data.

Installed 3rd party app
the /data/dev/doc filesystem ran out of inodes and the filesystem was
corrupted.
Recreated with " -o i 1024 " and increased inodes from ~1million to
~12.5million

The inodes, again, have passed the 2million mark.

I believe that this is an application issue, BUT . . .

How can I understand what is happening to the inodes and find out what is
taking them?

Also, the fileystem in question returns an error code of "1" on the
following command:

# du -kds /data/dev/doc
# echo ?$
1

Any advise would be helpful.

Thank you.
