Odroid HC2 freeze during logrotate?

I can't pinpoint the cause of the freeze exactly, but it shows as follows in syslog:

At midnight, logrotate was started but never successfully concluded.

At the time, I was also recording a stream via smb to the hdd. (Not a very demanding activity)

When I tried to access the SBC via network share or ssh this morning, neither would show as available. The SBC was running but "dead".

When I rebooted it by re-plugging power, instead of showing ~9:00 o'clock, the SBCs internal clock showed 02:17.

Here are the last messages of the syslog before the SBC locked up:

I should note that the SBC has been running 24/7 stable for weeks.

There have been more hardware demanding tasks running without issue.
