I'm running a RH 9 / Plesk server with Clamav version 0.88.7. Freshclam pulled down the new main.cvd (version 42) on 12/31/2006. Clamd immediately choked on it and I had to revert to the "stock" main.cvd that comes in the package. Subsequent tests have confirmed that the daily.cvd pulled by Freshclam is OK. Switching mirrors (from db.si.clamav.net to db.mx.clamav.net) hasn't helped either.

Here is the message I receive when attempting to re-start Clamd with the "bad" main.cvd:

LibClamAV Error: Cannot close file /tmp/clamav-29cad58e042679e3/main.fp.
cli_untgz: No space left on device
LibClamAV Error: cli_cvdload(): Can't unpack CVD file.
LibClamAV Error: Can't load /var/clamav/main.cvd: CVD extraction failure
ERROR: CVD extraction failure


I don't believe that this is a drive space issue, as the /tmp directory has plenty of space:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/tmpMnt           190M  777K  179M   1% /tmp

You will note that I *do* have my /tmp mounted as such:

/dev/tmpMnt /tmp ext2 loop,noexec,nosuid,rw 0 0

Noexec, nosuid keeps executables from being run from the /tmp dir.



I was running Clamav 0.88.6 from Nov 17 - December 28 w/o a problem. I upgraded to 0.88.7 on December 28, and the update to the main.cvd occured on December 31st:

freshclam.log
"""

Any ideas?  I've searched and searched for an answer...
