What about database updates happening at that time? For us even
with ConcurrentDatabaseReload true Exim sometimes times out scanning
e-mails, when databse update is happening.
Just FYI, "ConcurrentDatabaseReload true" should avoid exactly the problem
you have. I have clamd on machine with 4GB of RAM (not very loaded though)
without problems.
"ConcurrentDatabaseReload no" should spare some RAM when reloading database,
but can delay new scanning until database is reloaded.
How long does the reload take on that machine?
Here it's under 1 minute:
Wed Nov 13 04:48:21 2024 -> Reading databases from /var/lib/clamav
Wed Nov 13 04:49:18 2024 -> Database correctly reloaded (12992433 signatures)
Do you have enough of free RAM on that machine?

Nope, not that either. The database update happens about 15
minutes before this particular mail arrives.

A thought. Even though freshclam finished before this mail was
received and the clamav log shows the database loaded and
activated would the next scan still incur the overhead for the
clamd daemon to reload the signatures. If so, is there any way to
force the reload as part of the freshclam process.

freshclam should notify clamd or new database

The only pattern I've seen is when the next scan occurs 10 -> 15
minutes after freshclam does an update to the DB. I would hope the
reload of the signatures wouldn't have taken that long.
Does freshclam run as the same user as clamd?
Is there "NotifyClamd" option in freshclam.conf
containing path to correct clamd.conf?
