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?

    I removed Sophos from my computer and my Drobo S is sort of back to normal.  I still have partitions that have to be forced to dismount, but I no longer have any problems logging on.   On balance, virus problems are less of an isue on Macs than mounting attached drives so I am going in that direction.

    Data Robotics does not actually support partitioning Drobo systems with DiskUtility and I found I can create disk images ith SuperDuper! so at some point I will do away with partitions and the mounting problem should go away.  I can then try re-installing Sophos to see what happens.
