Did you consider doing "fsck -F vxfs" on the filesystem?

      =]    Tried that already, the issue with that approach 
      =]    was vxfs would not even let any files be deleted or 
      =]    zeroed out from the affected filesystem... So rm 
      =]    -fr and cat /dev/null would all fail with "no space 
      =]    left" reasons.
