The first time the virus database is loaded (or when replacing a corrupted database) the .cvd is used. When subsequent scripted updates are applied, the .cvd is unpacked into an .inc directory and the updates are applied therein. Versions prior to 0.90 always used the .cvd because they didn't support scripted updates and the .inc directory structure. Your servers that just have a .cvd likely already had the current daily.cvd before they were upgraded. A .inc directory should be created automatically next time a scripted update is applied. Any attempt to "force" creation of a .inc directory is unlikely to be successful. -- Noel Jones _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
