Several asophos-av problems

I'm geeting some problems with the free sophos-av for linux on ubuntu 14.04.

First, my syslog is often full of hundreds of these:

[code]

Jun 4 08:54:36 host kernel: [ 82.657004] talpa-vfshook: atomic_open exit 1
Jun 4 08:54:36 host kernel: [ 82.657812] talpa-vfshook: atomic_open exit 1
Jun 4 08:54:36 host kernel: [ 82.659965] talpa-vfshook: atomic_open exit 1
Jun 4 08:54:36 host kernel: [ 82.672363] talpa-vfshook: atomic_open exit 1

....

[/code]

This happens at boot, and sometimes other times as well. (host is my host name)

Secondly, When just copying files from one place to another (in this case from one YSB drive to another), it seems to want to check them.  When the files are large, and/or zips, I get errors or timeouts on the copying process.  I have now disabled the check on archives, but surely such errors should not occur?  There really is no problem with the content of these files.

[code]

Jun 4 08:22:31 host savd: Error detected: 1/0x4021a in /media/xyz/Media Backup/fullbackup/duplicity-full.20150109T082134Z.vol38.difftar.gz
Jun 4 08:22:34 host savd: Error detected: 1/0x4021a in /media/crusty/xyz/ubuntu/duplicity-full.20150109T082134Z.vol38.difftar.gz

[/code]

I have also had to deactivate it several trimes when doing large file movements.

  • Hello pastim,

    Secondly ... just copying

    w.r.t. scanning the free product is not different from the paid version. Scanning of archives is not recommended for on-access and AFAIK not enabled by default. The scanner doesn't try to find out whether you are just copying (and there'd be some extra cost in doing so) and if instructed to scan inside archives it has to unpack the archive (perhaps several levels) and scan its contents before allowing the access to proceed - and this can cause timeouts.

    1/0x4021a

    means the file is corrupt from the scanner's POV - i.e. either it's indeed corrupt or there are some (non-standard, application-specific, ...) intricacies the unpacking routine can't fathom out.
