According to what you posted, there is no reason to believe you are in cause in this disk full situation. The NFS server hosting your home directory and likely many other ones is simply full. You have been misled by questions asking about df and du discrepancy. Here, this discrepancy is expected as du is run on a subdirectory (hour homedir), not the whole file system which what df is reporting. There is not that much you can do outside waiting for an admin to fix the issue as you are likely missing the rights required to identify which other user(s) is/are using too much space.

There is a special problem for my unix. Disk quota exceed.
I use quota -v to check that I almost run out of my quota(I use 45M, limit for me is 50M).

ns_tmpnam
ns_tmp(3aolserver) AOLserver Built-In Commands ns_tmp(3aolserver)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
ns_mktemp, ns_tmpnam - commands
SYNOPSIS
ns_mktemp template
ns_tmpnam
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
ns_mktemp returns a unique filename based on the template you specify. ns_tmpnam returns a filename that can safely be used for a tempo-
rary file.
The template for ns_mktemp should contain a string with six trailing Xs, which will be replaced with an alpha-numeric string of six charac-
ters chosen to make the filename unique. If template does not end with six trailing Xs the empty string will be returned.
ns_tmpnam calls the tmpnam() C library function, and the results will depend on your operating system. On Irix, for example, tmpnam()
always generate a file name using the path-prefix defined as P_tmpdir in the header file which is "/var/tmp/".
EXAMPLES
nscp> ns_tmpnam ;# On Linux
/tmp/filevuLwaE
nscp> ns_mktemp /tmp/foobar.XXXXXX
/tmp/foobar.p6SlaC
