From Paolo Valdemarin:

Files 'overloaded' Mars probe. Hundreds of data files accumulating on the computer belonging to Mars rover Spirit may have crippled it. [BBC News | Technology | UK Edition]

Looks like we are not the only ones getting stuck with useless log files from time to time ;-)
[Paolo Valdemarin: Paolo's Weblog]

To which I'll add that gzipping logfiles (or bzip2, which some have claimed to make for smaller files) is a big part of it. Checking your log level ("why am I still running at log4J's debug?") periodically is useful as well.

(yes, this is a bit of an inside joke for myself)
