Ok, but just two things: The clam conf is set to limit the amount of memory that should be scanned. If there is no memory leak, otherwise it could be that something is wrong with that code/configuration ? But: If not running clamav as a daemon (clamscan instead of clamdscan), the problem seems not to appear (or isn't yet seen). Every clamscan- process terminating frees allocated memory of the process. But running clamdscan, from time to time the clamd grows (in memory-usage). So this _looks_ like a memory leak. But also: I ran valgrind on one server, but the problem didn't appear for some days. As it appeared, the hole server crashed - murphy.. So I have to do more valgrind-runs to get some useful output. Version is last stable (.75.1), and no BSD. > > Is there anumber which says "x amount of memory used by clamd is normal" ? > No, it depends entirely upon your usage. Let us say, the configuration is set to maximum scan of 10 mb - what would be (nearby) the amount of used memory to be expected on a system where no leaks appear ? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: thawte's Crypto Challenge Vl Crack the code and win a Sony DCRHC40 MiniDV Digital Handycam Camcorder.
