Hi.

Had an outage this morning, Our kiosk sessions mysteriously stopped
working(just a blank screen) caused by a USB key(with about 2000 files
on it),As soon as i umounted the usb key, kiosk sessions started working
again.

I found that there were lots of find eating up CPU time. i trussed them
to see what they were doing and they were all scanning the same USB key
with lots of files on it.


It was because in the initialisation phase of a kiosk session a find
-exec rm is done in /tmp and /var/tmp for old files from the last kiosk
user. /tmp/SUNWut/mnt is where the USB keys get mounted. This also gets
scanned.

When there is a USB key with 2000 files on it this takes a _long_ time,
in fact so long it times out. /tmp/SUNWut/mnt should really be exempt
from the find to stop outages like this.

/opt/SUNWkio/lib/utils.sh is where all this goes on.

Any suggestions?

Cheers.
