What is the output from df -k
It shows 30 G free
Also can you print the actual error message you get.
file system full
df -k report filesystem disk space usage.better to use du -sh*|sort -nr or du -sk*|sort -nr to know which directory or file is using most of the space
I am not interested in the largest folder.
df also shows how much disk is free.
If you run du it will take ages to get a result.
Its a filesystem that is full, we are not trying to find which is the biggest directory
The file system is not full. It has 30G
My question is: why there is inconsistency between the dmesg output and df -k

df(1B) SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands df(1B)
NAME
df - display status of disk space on file systems
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/df [-a] [-i] [-t type] [filesystem...] [filename...]
DESCRIPTION
The df utility displays the amount of disk space occupied by currently mounted file systems, the amount of used and available space, and
how much of the file system's total capacity has been used.
If arguments to df are path names, df produces a report on the file system containing the named file. Thus `df .' shows the amount of
space on the file system containing the current directory.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-a Report on all filesystems including the uninteresting ones which have zero total blocks (that is, auto-mounter).
-i Report the number of used and free inodes. Print ` * ' if no information is available.
-t type Report on filesystems of a given type (for example, nfs or ufs).
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Using df
A sample of output for df looks like:
example% df
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
sparky:/ 7445 4714 1986 70% /
sparky:/usr 42277 35291 2758 93% /usr
Note that used+avail is less than the amount of space in the file system (kbytes); this is because the system reserves a fraction of the
space in the file system to allow its file system allocation routines to work well. The amount reserved is typically about 10%; this can be
adjusted using tunefs (see tunefs(1M)). When all the space on a file system except for this reserve is in use, only the super-user can
allocate new files and data blocks to existing files. When a file system is overallocated in this way, df can report that the file system
is more than 100% utilized.
