The first scan when the firefly service starts up works, but the 2nd scan fails with can’t open database.
1. If I disable mcafee virus, then it stays running fine.
2. If I run firefly in debug mode, then it stays running fine.
Mcafee doesn’t allow customers to define directory exclusions or specific extensions to ignore. Argh.
Perhaps the firefly codebase can do a retry or have a longer timeout for the db file i/o to return while virus protection is scanning? Or would this happen so many time to make firefly non performant?
