Toyota has revealed a server running out of disk space after botched maintenance was the cause of an outage that forced it to shut down 14 manufacturing plants across Japan last week. 'The system malfunction was caused by the unavailability of some multiple servers (sic) that process parts orders,' states a company announcement posted on Wednesday. Those servers went down after regular maintenance work was performed on August 27. But someone botched that job. "During the maintenance procedure, data that had accumulated in the database was deleted and organized, and an error occurred due to insufficient disk space, causing the system to stop," Toyota's announcement explains.
