Greetings,
Has anyone encountered the following problem:
Somehow there was a stale .dbLock file in the database directory, and
the log file was full of
'ERROR: Can't lock database directory: /cs/local/share/clamav'
I did a strace and saw the freashclam was trying to create a new
.dbLock file, but it kept failing due to the existing .dbLock file. I
am going to assume that a previous freshclam didn't exit cleanly and
left a .dbLock around, is there a FixStaleDBLock file option similar to
the FixStaleSocket option?
We normally run freshclam out of cron, ClamAv version 0.90 and we are
using ScriptedUpdates.
Hi Paul,
This happened to me a couple of times when I killed (TERM) freshclam
while a download was in progress...
Unfortunately I'm unable to reproduce the problem.
Could you please provide some hints?

I will see what happens today, I didn't do anything special in my setup.
The only unique thing in my setup is that my database sits on a NFS share.
Here is what the stale .dbLock file looks like:
#ls -lait
total 8962
545006030 -rwxrwxr-- 1 clamav clamav 0 Feb 22 02:28 .dbLock*
The million dollar question is what happened between Feb 21 17:28 and Feb
22 02:28.
Here are some log snippets...
