It cause error message when clamonacc starting:
It is not the TemporaryDirectory which causes the error, it is the
path(s) which you are telling clamonacc to watch. Please tell us.
clamonacc[103181]: ERROR: ClamInotif: Not watching path '/tmp'
clamonacc[103181]: ERROR: ClamInotif: ClamOnAcc should not watch the directory
clamd is using for temp files

I attempt to use "OnAccessExcludePath /tmp" but it unsusseful.
The error message did not tell you to set "OnAccessExcludePath /tmp".
It told you to use a different TemporaryDirectory. One which
clamonacc is not required by your configuration to watch.
Consider setting TemporaryDirectory in clamd.conf to a different directory.
I thought about it. /tmp is system default and it tmpfs usually now (in Linux
based OS). And that's good. I can certainly make a separate tmpfs for clamd,
but so far this does not seem to me a good idea. But I'm wrong maybe.
Maybe. You should certainly take heed of the error messages.
Does clamonacc have to watch in /tmp ?
No. But we do not know what you have told clamonacc to watch because
you have not told us. My guess is that you have told it to watch the
entire filesystem, which will cause problems. You need to think about
what you are doing - and you need to tell us what you are doing. Read
about the 'clamconf' utility. If you can post the output of
clamconf -n
that will help us to know what you're doing.
