When some repeated error messages are issued (as after not quite clean eject of the removable disk) the "console.log" grows to obscene sizes. The reboot causes to clean the "/tmp" and you get the space back. There is no "hiwater" mark for console.log. If this file is removed, it is not created again, so a brutal remedy is to remove it after login to the system - then you can do your *illegal* operations without filling the HD up. -Z.
