    "Toyota Stops Car Assembly Lines After Server Runs Out of Disk Space...

    Toyota was forced to stop production at 12 car assembly plants late last month because a server ran out of disk space.

    On Aug. 27, Toyota halted production at 12 of its 14 assembly plants in Japan due to a "glitch" in its IT system. Today, Toyota revealed that the problem was actually a lack of storage space...

    Maintenance work carried out on Aug. 27 led to a parts processing server running out of disk space during a database reorganization job. No free storage space meant the server stopped working, and then the same problem occurred on the backup server...

    It's thought the incident stopped around 13,000 cars being manufactured per day, with the system being offline for a couple of days..."
