Hey there,
We are using 5.2 and Symantec 12.1 and have a number of linked clone desktops. We have AV definition updates 3 times a day and they linked clones' checkpoint files are growing rapidly and I believe its in relation to the AV definitions that they are getting. They seem to be renaming the old definitions afterwards and keeping 3 copies on the local linked clone disk, which is causing the checkpoint file to grow substantially as its differing from the Master each time by 300MB an update.
We are not in a position to refresh on logoff right now but am wondering if this is expected behaviour (???) as we find ourselves updating the Master on a a to-regurlar basis (because of the AV Def updates) and recomposing the Pools to get back the space on the Storage.
Appreciate any comments you have.
Cheers,
Paul.
