>> [29016.445470] clamd[1110] general protection ip:30df2c3981 >> sp:7fffa08f4fe0 error:0 in libclamav.so.6.1 >> .11[30df200000+9ce000] I've now switched the hard disks to the old server (also an x86_64 arch) and it has been running fine with no 'general protection' errors for more than twelve hours. I think it's safe to assume there is no software bug causing these errors? I've also been stress testing the new hardware separately. It succeeded through two full passes of memtest86 without any errors. It's now been running mprime for more than twelve hours and has not failed. When these 'general protection' errors were produced, the system was typically under high load and high IO. I realize this may be a hardware issue, but does anyone have any ideas how to determine what is really going on? Is there a way to stress-test clamav on the new hardware, to try and induce an error through high IO?
