System hangs during on-access scanning of encrypted disk images

roderickvd

When accessing data on an encrypted disk image, my system hangs after some time. All I/O operations are stalled and the entire UI becomes unresponsive. The system cannot be recovered except by using a hard reset.

I have worked around the problem by excluding my encrypted volume from on-access scanning. Hopefully a future version of Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac OS X will correct this issue.

    Hello Ed,

    generally you wouldn't want the on-access settings being applied to Scan Local Drives, as one purpose of this scan is to scan areas you've exempted from on-access scanning. It might make sense to make scanning of the Time Machine files a selectable option for Scan Local Drives (and perhaps for on-access as well). This would require some more changes though because as of now these settings also apply to a Finder scan.
