I have had this problem since .90 came out, and also with .90.1 and .90.2. I run freshclam out of cron, and I just might wrap freshclam with a shell script to remove the .dbLock file, before I call the real freshclam.

[Clamav-users] Handling mail surges
Greetings, Does any one have any suggestions for handling spam surges? We had a spam mail surge and exim was getting connection timeout errors from the clamd socket, for spamassassin we can increase the number of child processes to handle more connections. Any best of practices out there ? A search of the mailing lists didn't find anything.

[Clamav-users] freshclam - ERROR: Can't lock database directory: - stale .dbLock file
Greetings, Has anyone encountered the following problem: Somehow there was a stale .dbLock file in the database directory, and the log file was full of 'ERROR: Can't lock database directory: /cs/local/share/clamav' I did a strace and saw the freashclam was trying to create a new .dbLock file, but it kept failing due to the existing .dbLock file. I am going to assume that a previous freshclam didn't exit cleanly and left a .dbLock around, is there a FixStaleDBLock file option similar to the FixStaleSocket option? We normally run freshclam out of cron, ClamAv version 0.90 and we are using ScriptedUpdates.

Hi Paul, This happened to me a couple of times when I killed (TERM) freshclam while a download was in progress... Unfortunately I'm unable to reproduce the problem. Could you please provide some hints? -aCaB I will see what happens today, I didn't do anything special in my setup. The only unique thing in my setup is that my database sits on a NFS share. Here is what the stale .dbLock file looks like: #ls -lait total 8962 545006030 -rwxrwxr-- 1 clamav clamav 0 Feb 22 02:28 .dbLock* The million dollar question is what happened between Feb 21 17:28 and Feb 22 02:28.
