Hello. Last night clamav terminated with this logfile informations:
Mon Jun 23 22:02:43 2008 -> SelfCheck: Database modification detected. Forcing reload. Mon Jun 23 22:02:43 2008 -> Reading databases from /var/lib/clamav Mon Jun 23 22:04:53 2008 -> ERROR: reload db failed: Unable to lock database directory (try 1) Mon Jun 23 22:07:03 2008 -> ERROR: reload db failed: Unable to lock database directory (try 2) Mon Jun 23 22:09:13 2008 -> ERROR: reload db failed: Unable to lock database directory (try 3) Mon Jun 23 22:09:13 2008 -> ERROR: reload db failed: Unable to lock database directory Mon Jun 23 22:09:13 2008 -> Terminating because of a fatal error. Mon Jun 23 22:09:13 2008 -> Socket file removed. Mon Jun 23 22:09:13 2008 -> Pid file removed. Mon Jun 23 22:09:13 2008 -> --- Stopped at Mon Jun 23 22:09:13 2008 I found some old postings about that problem, but i must have missed the sollution. Can someone give me a hint? It is possible to tell clamav, it should try to reload it's database for a longer time? '/etc/init.d/clamav-daemon start' started clamav without problems (no stale lockfile). System is Debian Etch. clamav package: 0.92.1~dfsg-1volatile2 (I know, 93.1 is the newest version, but i haven't found hints, that this is the real reason for this. The problem occured with much older versions too.) # clamd --version ClamAV 0.92.1/7546/Tue Jun 24 01:40:35 2008 # ls -lad /var/lib/clamav drwxr-xr-x 4 clamav clamav 4096 Jun 24 09:58 /var/lib/clamav # ps auxw| grep clam[d] clamav 1916 0.6 1.7 81212 46072 ?
