Maybe you're hitting the allocation of reserved blocks for root?
With your disk usage of 97% I'd think that could be the case.

You didn't say what file system you're using for that 21TB array, so we
(this list) won't be of too much help without knowing that.

tune2fs [0] is your friend
- use it to determine if there are reserved blocks
- use it to adjust the settings

If you have a non-root shell account on that box, can you write to that
array from the NFS host?
( Take NFS out of the equation. )
