The initial memory usage seems to be a little improved also (from 36m to 35m). Remains, however, the problem of icreased memory usage after DB reload: This is my "top" output after launching clamd but before DB reload: 16100 vscan 9 0 36484 35m 1080 S 0.0 1.8 0:02.90 clamd 16408 vscan 9 0 36484 35m 1080 S 0.0 1.8 0:00.02 clamd After bout 1800s there is the DB self checking (note that I'm also using sanesecurity signatures so the over 190k signatures): Tue Dec 18 17:18:37 2007 -> No stats for Database check - forcing reload Tue Dec 18 17:18:37 2007 -> Reading databases from /usr/local/share/clamav Tue Dec 18 17:18:39 2007 -> Database correctly reloaded (190744 signatures) And this is the "top" output just a second after the DB reload: 16100 vscan 9 0 70408 68m 1088 S 0.0 3.4 0:05.05 clamd 16408 vscan 8 0 70408 68m 1088 S 0.0 3.4 0:00.02 clamd _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
