My Boot Disk is Full......Yet Again!

Fotomann

I have just un-installed my Sophos AntiVirus for Mac as every time I run a full scan on my multi-drive MacBook this application fills my boot disk and locks the system, requiring it to be powered down by holding down the power switch. Thankfully my MacBook does lock up, thus preventing my data from being corrupted.

It's a shame that this otherwise excellent AV application is spoiled by a simple to fix bug such as this in the software. So I suppose it will be back to Kaspersky!

    I've had the same problem. I'm not sure how I have enough compressed files on my boot drive to fill all 38GB of free space.

    But my primary concern is that my boot drive is an SSD, and stuffing it up with a bunch of temporary files probably isn't good for its life expectancy. Sophos needs to recognize SSDs and copy the uncompressed stuff to a HDD (if available) which can handle repeated file writes better.
