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.
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.

The file system is not full. It has 30G
My question is: why there is inconsistency between the dmesg output and df -k
I am sure there is more in the message then just "file system full"
Which filesystem are we talking about ?
Is it /tmp , Is it swap space that your running out of ?
The more info you provide the more help you will get.
Vauge info produces vague answers.
