I made some adjustments like giving the clamd process higher priority and providing my VMs with more CPU cores.Could you please provide more RAM to your VMs ?
I don't think that's the problem. The VMs all have 16GB RAM, of which plenty is available: Mem: 1808M Active, 436M Inact, 2532M Wired, 1860K Cache, 1600M Buf, 11G Free The clamd process uses roughly 1GB of memory: PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND 782 spamd 3 -52 r0 947M 852M uwait 3 14:44 0.00% clamd I really don't think memory is the issue here. Also there are no memory limitations imposed on the spamd user: # limits -m -U spamd Resource limits for class default: memoryuse infinity kB
Does anyone else experience such high db reload times with when using the unofficial signatures?Yes, maybe javascript.ndb too big for your VM. Can you remove it and retry please ?
I just tried that, and the difference it made is tremendous! With javascript.ndb removed, reload time is down to under 20 seconds: Nov 23 08:26:53 mail2 clamd[782]: Reading databases from /var/db/clamav Nov 23 08:27:09 mail2 clamd[782]: Database correctly reloaded (7942253 signatures) After I put it back, reloading took over one minute again: Nov 23 08:28:41 mail2 clamd[782]: Reading databases from /var/db/clamav Nov 23 08:29:49 mail2 clamd[782]: Database correctly reloaded (8008706 signatures) While reloading with the javascript.ndb in place the CPU usage of the clamd process really goes up: PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND 782 spamd 13 -52 r0 968M 858M uwait 0 15:47 1099.71% clamd If you insist :) I can try more RAM for the VM, but as I said, I don't think that too little RAM is the problem here. Rather the way clamd handles signatures internally.
