hi, I'm using clamav-deamon with freshclam to scan incoming emails on my mail-server*
After the last clamav-update in debian etch, clamav stops working sometimes after freshclam updated the signatures. In the log-file it reads like this: /var/log/clamav/clamav.log --> >(..) 21:56:32 (..)SelfCheck: Database modification detected. Forcing reload. >(..) 21:56:32 (..)Reading databases from /var/lib/clamav >(..) 21:58:42 (..)ERROR: reload db failed: Unable to lock database directory >(try 1) >(..) 22:00:52 (..)ERROR: reload db failed: Unable to lock database directory >(try 2) >(..) 22:03:02 (..)ERROR: reload db failed: Unable to lock database directory >(try 3) >(..) 22:03:02 (..)ERROR: reload db failed: Unable to lock database directory >(..) 22:03:02 (..)Terminating because of a fatal error.Wed Mar 12 22:03:02 >2008 -> Socket file removed. >(..) 22:03:02 (..)Pid file removed. >(..) 22:03:02 (..)--- Stopped at Wed Mar 12 22:03:02 2008 <--- Both clamd.ctl and clamd.pid in /var/run/clamav will removed, and two clamscan-processes (started by postfix) will use 99% of CPU. A simple restart of clamd, freshclamd and postfix does not help, the only one which helps is to restart the whole server. ~10mins after restart the log is looking like: /var/log/clamav/clamav.log --> >(..) 09:56:43 (..)+++ Started at Thu Mar 13 09:56:43 2008 >(..) 09:56:43 (..)clamd daemon 0.90.1 (OS: linux-gnu, ARCH: x86_64, CPU: >x86_64) >(..) 09:56:43 (..)Log file size limit disabled. >(..) 09:56:43 (..)Reading databases from /var/lib/clamav >(..) 10:12:13 (..)Loaded 312591 signatures. >(..) 10:12:13 (..)Unix socket file /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl >(..) 10:12:13 (..)Setting connection queue length to 15 >(..) 10:12:13 (..)Archive: Archived file size limit set to 10485760 bytes. >(..) 10:12:13 (..)Archive: Recursion level limit set to 5. >(..) 10:12:13 (..)Archive: Files limit set to 1000. >(..) 10:12:13 (..)Archive: Compression ratio limit set to 250. >(..) 10:12:13 (..)Archive support enabled. >(..) 10:12:13 (..)Algorithmic detection enabled. >(..) 10:12:13 (..)Portable Executable support enabled. >(..) 10:12:13 (..)ELF support enabled. >(..) 10:12:13 (..)Mail files support enabled. >(..) 10:12:13 (..)Mail: Recursion level limit set to 64. >(..) 10:12:13 (..)OLE2 support enabled. >(..) 10:12:13 (..)PDF support disabled. >(..) 10:12:13 (..)HTML support enabled. >(..) 10:12:13 (..)Self checking every 3600 seconds. <--- Here are the debian-packets I use: clamav 0.90.1dfsg-3etch10 clamav-freshclam 0.90.1dfsg-3etch10 clamav-daemon 0.90.1dfsg-3etch10 Kernel: 2.6.18-6-amd64 libc: libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch5 /var/lib/clamav is on an ext3-filesystem. Has somebody an idea to solve it? Groups+Permissions of the relevant files are looking OK.
