Hello
What should the behaviour of a running clamd be when it comes across a
malformed database during a signature-reload.
Clamd.conf has setting "ConcurrentDatabaseReload no"
Regards Paul
Hi Paul,
Is there is a malformed database freshclam will ignore it and shouldn't update.
If it's a manually updated database, clamd will report the error in logs.
That options means....
concurrentDatabaseReload BOOL
Enable non-blocking (multi-threaded/concurrent) database reloads. This
feature will temporarily load a second scanning engine while scanning
continues using the first engine. Once loaded, the new engine takes over.
The old engine is removed as soon as all scans using the old engine have
completed. This feature requires more RAM, so this option is provided in
case users are willing to block scans during reload in exchange for lower
RAM requirements.
Default: yes
Cheers,
Steve
