Answer
Logs, layers, and temp files fill disk, triggering evictions.
Quick Answer
Containers write logs (stdout/stderr), and the container runtime stores them as files on the node. Each container restart adds a new log file. Containers that restart frequently (CrashLoopBackOff) create many log files. Large or unbounded log files fill the node's ephemeral storage — triggering kubelet's hard eviction and removing Pods from the node.
