Hello,
Yesterday I ugraded clamav to 90.1. All went fine and the software
worked
well but today in the morning clamd retreived new signatures and:
Mar 16 11:34:10 192 freshclam[36963]: Database updated (99431
signatures)
from db.pl.clamav.net (IP: 212.14.28.36)
followed by:
Mar 16 11:36:00 192 clamd[38011]: reload db failed: Unable to lock
database directory (try 1)
Fortunately I have been tailing the log so I was able to quickly
find out what
happened and recover (otherwise mailserver did not want to accept
mail).
A coincidence or is this something I should be worried about?
Thank you very much!

I too had a similar problem this morning.
For the first time ever my Clamd log showed the following.....

detected. Forcing reload.

Running Clamav-0.90.1 on a Fedora Core 6 System with amavisd-new,
dovecot and postfix.
I did not enable experimental when configuring.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated as it was several hours
before I spotted this and manually restarted clamd.
Oddly, mail was still being delivered, but without any virus checks ??
Many thanks.
