The new openSUSE 13.2 journald (from systemd) is sometimes quickly using up disk space.
There are setting you can tweak in /etc/systemd/journald.conf
[Journal] Compress=yes SystemMaxUse=500M SystemKeepFree=2G
After that, restart the services a few times for the changes to take effect:
systemctl restart systemd-journald.service systemctl restart systemd-journal-flush.service
You should see a reduction in the size of the /var/log/ directory almost immediately.
