Indeed. If it says "No space left on device" it usually means "No
space left on device", literally. ;-)

I would suppose this is not possible. But this is entirely dependend
on the package format and software you're using. You should ask about
that in a Solaris forum / mailing list / man page / the place where
you got the package.

You could either move some directory(s) to another file system and
create a symlink to it in its initial location or you could move the
contents of a directory to a special designated partition with enough
free space and then just mount that partition onto the original
directory.
