Hmm, the journal is designed to handle repeating stuff. It stores strings and
only references them. So, if the same string comes along again, the string is
not stored again, but only referenced. So, it seems something else was going
wrong and all the metadata sourrounding that string accumulated to 2.7G.

Is your disk full?

# df -h /var/log/journal
