Hi there,

Unfortunately, it looks like the cache is too small to help.

I ran clamdscan twice on my /home (69k files) and got:

# clamdscan --fdpass /home
/home/de5/eicar.tar.gz: Eicar-Signature FOUND
WARNING: /home/de5/.cisco/hostscan/.libcsd.ipc: Not supported file type
WARNING: Directory recursion limit reached
WARNING: Directory recursion limit reached

All this means is that (by default, but it's configurable) the scanner
won't recurse deeper than fifteen directories when it does a recursive
directory scan and you have a driectory tree under /home that's deeper
than that.  See 'MaxDirectoryRecursion' in the clamd.conf man page.

There are quite a few limits of this kind to try to prevent you from
DOSing yourself, it's worth perusing the man pages.
