I'm running VisionFS on OpenServer 5.0.5. It's been working fine since 1999... There are about fifteen client PCs, all Win98. Since yesterday, I've had to reboot the server a few times. It seems that vfsd daemon is taking all the CPU time. It starts off fine, but after a while it increases until the workstations no longer respond, or they can't login.
I've been running Sophos anti-virus software on the workstations, but Sophos have finished support for this version, meaning I have to update to a newer version. I uninstalled the old version from one PC, and installed the new one, and at about the time the server started playing up. It seemed fine after a reboot, and I went ahead and upgraded the other workstations.
How can I work out what's going on with VisionFS?
I know I could try uninstalling Sophos, but even if it is that that's causing the problem, at the minute I can't think how or why. Sophos is set to udate automatically at each PC by downloading straight from the Sophos servers (there are no updates from the SCO/VisionFS server).
