Drobo S Problem Sophos related?

rbpeirce

Does anybody know if out-of-the-box Sophos Home Edition attaches itself to files on attached disk drives?

I have been having a problem.  I can't log on when my Drobo S is attached.  This has been going on for months and I have gone down many dead-ends.  The latest one is that running 'lsof +d /volumes/B1' on my MBP shows UserEvent is accessing the Applications folder on pretty much every attached partition.  When I manually break that connection I can log off and log on but the connection is recreated.

Today I discovered I could tell Sopos to exclude these partitions in its automatic startup configuration.  Upon rebooting and logging in, lsof produced no output.  I can only conclude that Sophos was responsible for this but I would like to confirm it.

I also found, at least so far, that I can log off and back on without disconnecting the Drobo S.  I will want to test this for several days but the UserEvent seems to be causing the problem and Sophos seems to be responsible for that.

Who knows anything about this?

    One other thing which may be important.  I have 11 partitions on the Drobo S.  Only eight have caused problems, but of course, any one affects the whole system.  If Sophos can only handle eight attached partitions, that would be fairly convincing evidence that it was causing the problem.
