Well, yes, it's possible something messed up with /target, though it
shouldn't. That should not have used more than 200 mb of memory though.

The logs are /var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman.
Given how much memory seems to have been used, I think one much have
been growing constantly, possibly from the kernel logs..
