root file system is 100% full on server with oracle databse

This was very strange to me, i have a solaris 10 Generic_122300-03 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440, with one oracle database running on it. The daatabase guys was doing some activity and the CPU utilization was 100%. I got an update from db team that their process was hung for aroung 2 hours and db was not coming up. At this point of time the / file system was piling 100% and suddenly the database came up and / file system came down to normal.
i am not sure what had happened, i didnt get an oppurtunity to check for any logs files getting generated under / apart from var or swap which can cause this. var is seperate file system.
any idea on finding this out?
