Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux & disturbs mounting containter with VeraCrypt

Hey,

after entering the password while mounting an encrypted container with VeraCrypt the process hangs. It works fine when I disable sav-protect.
I don´t see anything in the logs of sophos-av.
I tried already to ignore on access scanning on the mount point.
Maybe I have to ignore the device to mount too?!

I have to manually kill all veracrypt processes. My current workaround is to disable sav-protect before mounting devices. I reenable it after I umount the devices.
