Running Sophos on a RHEL5 64-bit box that is configured to scan archives. Some of the archives it may encounter are large (hundreds of megabytes and potentially larger than that even).
From time to time, Sophos leaves large xxxxxxxxx.$$$ files in the /tmp directory which can eat up free space pretty quickly if we don't keep an eye out for them.
Another thread and KB article indicates this can happen, and you should just clean up the files (though care must be done to do it after its associated scan process has completed).
Seems like a bug however... anyone else have a bit more detail on why this happens? We'll probably write up a script to more cautiously remove the files, but would love to fix this permanently if possible.
Thanks,
Ray
