The issue occurred following regular maintenance work on the servers, the company said, adding that it would review its maintenance procedures.

Two people with knowledge of the matter had told Reuters the malfunction occurred during an update of the automaker's parts ordering system.

Uh-oh. Someone forgot to uncomment include /etc/logrotate.d and bounce the service, didn't they.

It’s always either /var/log, or my personal favorite some process spamming tiny files running the disk out of inodes.

Oh man, the first time I ever ran into the inodes issue I was still a squirrely, eager young admin and not the broken, cynical shell you see before you. That one fucked me up for a solid day and change.

Mine was "deleting" a LARGE log file at 3am when I was oncall to clear up some disk apace and not getting that space back.

At the time I has no idea why and went into panic mode because the disk was 98% full and growing. Damn software kept the file open and was spamming the same line at least millions of times. After that I spent the tine to learn about common issue, inodes were one of them.
