Always nice to see ssd killing log files.

There's a type of denial of service attack that's just about filling log files until the drive is full.

If you delete it and enable folder compression for that directory you can save additional space if the data is valuable for the future.

That DoS is funny because if the victim uses a cloud environment with scaling storage, it can become insanely expensive. It might not crash the machine or service, but their AWS bill might be a bit higher than expected.

Aye, but is it a tar file or just a fat32 ISO?

Ext4, xfs, you can format a file with a file system and mount it like a disk.
