65MB isn't really much today ;-)
You can solve the issue by enlarging the filesystem, which will enlarge
the number of inodes too.
But it seems that your users / applications creates a large number of
very small files.
So better backup / delete / recreate the home fs with more inodes per
megabyte. Or perhaps cleanup orphaned temporary files???

Fastpath: "smitty jfs"
Parameters: "Number of bytes per inode" and "Allocation group size"

man mkfs, man chfs
