it wasn't me that reported it, but i'm on the verge of doing the
same thing. here's why:
environment: solaris 5.10, sparc 420R (4x450MHz CPU, 4 GB RAM),
sendmail 8.14.1, clamav 0.91.2.
clam was compiled with the stock (ie installed with the OS) solaris
5.10 gcc (3.4.3). the configuration was done with:
./configure --prefix=/export/home/clamav --enable-milter
and clamd.conf looks like:
LogTime yes
LogSyslog yes
LogFacility LOG_MAIL
TemporaryDirectory /export/home/clamav/tmp
LocalSocket /var/clamav/clamd.sock
FixStaleSocket yes
MaxConnectionQueueLength 32
StreamMaxLength 64M
MaxThreads 64
SelfCheck 3600
User clamav
ScanMail yes
everything works fine for a while -- something more than 8 hours -- with
CPU usage normally being <10%. sometime overnight, however, it started to
climb. this morning it was holding steady at about 88%. i stopped sendmail,
stopped clmilter, stopped clamd and waited.
after five minutes, clamd was still running at 88% CPU so i fed it a
kill -9, cleaned out the temp directories, and restarted everything.
everything looks 'normal' right now.
we first ran into this issue on an older box when we tried to upgrade
from 0.88.7. there's been a lot of water under the bridge since then
with clam, and this is a new box (well, newer) with fresh installs of
everything. things are better than they were -- six months ago it
would blow up within an hour or so -- but the performance issues on
solaris clearly still haven't been licked.
if we can control it with a once-a-day restart, that'll be workable.
