Hello,
I installed clamd server (0.98.7) with clamav-milter using RPM of EPEL.
With this installation, after every freshclam update session, clamd
is forced to read the DB:
2015-09-29T09:12:41.244383+02:00 av1 clamd[15201]: Reading databases
from /var/lib/clamav
2015-09-29T09:13:14.950256+02:00 av2 clamav-milter[11957]: Failed to
stream to clamd
2015-09-29T09:13:14.950546+02:00 av2 clamav-milter[11957]: Streaming failed
2015-09-29T09:13:20.593439+02:00 av1 clamd[15201]: Database
correctly reloaded (5342538 signatures)
During this time clamav-milter have a trouble and the SMTP server
experiences a delay receiving the mail. On a frontend MSA SMTP
server this delay is a problem.
I would like to know if there is a better way to configure the DB
update, without interruption on service.
In case I remove the reload, is SelfCheck of Clamd sufficient to
detect a change in DB?
Do you have any hint to improve performances?
I tried to relax the upgrades, but I see the problem is the time spent
to reload the db:
2015-09-29T01:03:15.710526+02:00 av2 clamd[15201]: Reading databases
from /var/lib/clamav
2015-09-29T01:03:53.151179+02:00 av2 clamd[15201]: Database correctly
reloaded (5342845 signatures)
Is there a way to speed up this phase? Maybe putting the db files into
a RAM fs?
Thank you very much
Marco
