Thanks for the idea - I tried this - without fixing the problem - also I
haven't seen much speedup - sorry.

Ok, I tried - at first the mount here gave me an
Warning - /xtest does not exist.

But /xtest exists after it.

I run the modified scripts having /xtest/tmp as temporary directory.
(Scanner disabled).
Same result - problem is still there.

Your are right, I missed the McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8 - it is
configured to only scan on write - during running my script I can see
that it scans after a mv happened. But for the failed files I can not
see a scan (because the write has not happened).
I can not uninstall it (by company policy), but when disabling it, it
makes no differences - the problem is still there.
Maybe I can try this on a different pc without a scanner.

Yes its a Laptop with one HardDisk with some partitions - d/x are both
NTFS partitions. I also have a temp (z) partition that is FAT32.
Just for the fun I tried to have the tmp on this partition (with
disabled scanner). Makes no differences ....


Btw. I found that when I cancel the running script (last find) via
ctrl-c - then the main script is cancelt, but the diff runs in
background.
Thought all child processed died with the parent one?

Greetings
