We have a situation where we run a clamav daemon to scan files on a system.
how?
However, in the process, we only use about 10% CPU in the system. We would naturally like to increase this number. We were thus trying to come up with a way to scan multiple files in parallel on the same system. Is there a way we can spawn multiple clam daemons to do this?
afaik single clamav daemon is able to scan multiple files in parallel.
I am aware of the multiscan mode in clamdscan but I want each scan to be a separate process so as to not increase the overall scan time of any one file.
I don't understand. Why do you think that scanning in multiple threads increases scan time?
Is there a way to do this? Or are there any other alternatives to tackle this situation?
