Hi, > Could you start another freshclam (downloading updates into another > database directory) that only has the official databases? > (freshclam -d --config-file testing-freshclam.conf) > Does that show such high memory usage too?
This would be difficult because the other databases are so helpful for us, but I do have a few slower systems that I could do this on in the next few days. > What if you turn off safebrowsing on that freshclam? I noticed the load on one of the systems go very high and freshclam had consumed 75MB of RAM in a very short period and 99% of the CPU resources. I disabled it in freshclam.conf, and within a few minutes it had dropped the memory and CPU utilization went back to normal. >> I'm using gcc-2.96 and 2.4.31, so not even sure if you support it, but >> it will be some time before I can upgrade. > > Please open a bug on bugs.clamav.net so we don't forget about it. I'm going to disable safebrowsing on the servers for now, and see if we can better isolate the problem before I open a bug report -- I just don't have the time to keep up with it.
