Actually yes.  We have the database on an NFS server.  Neither the box or
the NFS server are anywhere near capacity.  Plenty of RAM, network speed and
CPU cycles available.  No warning or error messages in any of the kernel
logs and the boxes seem to be performing properly.  I can find no reason why
the process would just take 7 minutes to read the file... Several other
things lightly access the NFS server at that time and don't have any issues.

Are there other problems using NFS?  Should we not have clamd read the
definitions off the NFS directly and maybe look at rsyncing them to the
proper place on local disk?  I can't imagine why we'd need to do this,
especially if you have several other boxes that run clamd.  Having to run
freshclam on them all individually would seem like a waste.  Suggestions?
