Hello, I used to post here a few months ago about the engine's memory consumption. The newer versions give me satisfaction, but during the process of database reload (after a freshclam update), the network can be unreachable during a few minutes. To explain the situation quickly, I use a gateway using HAVP with ClamAV, which has 128Mo of RAM. I launch freshclam at night, but still this point can be annoying.
Reading the code, I saw that the operation of database reload is synchronous : during the database build, the scanner socket cannot be reached until the old base is substituted by the new one. I think about a way to make the process asynchronous : the substitution would occur only when the new database is built. But instead of doing this for myself only, I would like to know if this functionality could be interesting for you and could be added in the future versions. Thank you for your answers/suggestions. _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
