I've been thinking about adding clamav to my OpenSuSE system, so I've been running some
tests . . . .and I'm now wondering if I can do something to speed up clamav.
As a test, I've been scanning two file systms:
/usr/local: 33Gb, ~140k files
/home/<me>: 47Gb, ~77k files
clamscan command line: --stdout -ori >> ${LOG}
System: Shuttle SA76 (AMD quad-core Phenom II 2.8Ghz), 8GB memory, 2-1TB HDD, OpenSuSE
LEAP 42.3 with current patches.
The scan of my home directory takes over 2 hours, and it doesn't improve with repetition
:-). In contrast, F-Prot's test version scans it in about 20 minutes. /usr/local is a
similar time.
I'm running a local build of 0.99.3-beta.1, but the results were essentially the same
using 0.99.2 from the distro.
What can I do to speed up the clamscan process?
Thanks!
Dan
