Hi,
I am using currently plesk 9.5.2 on Centos5 64bit in a VM. Now I decided to try the art packages and upgraded so I got php 5.2 and mysql updates.
Then I installed qmail-scanner and clamav.
For some hours everything is working perfectly, but then the system load goes up to 40.xx and all RAM + Swap is used until the Server is no more responding due to the qscand clamscan process as seen in top. Its forking like 10-15 times on process list.
Any hints?

Re: qscand clamav process takes huge memory until server bre
It shouldnt use clamscan, it should be using clamdscan. If you didnt install clamd then thats probably whats going on
Re: qscand clamav process takes huge memory until server bre
I installed together with all deps so clamd is also included:

clamd (PID 3643) running...
but top output gives clamscan:
in qmail-scanner.conf is:
# ClamAV settings
CLAMD_USER="qscand"
and clamd.conf is not touched.

Re: qscand clamav process takes huge memory until server bre
yup, you configured it wrong. Just run this: qmail-scanner-reconfigure
Re: qscand clamav process takes huge memory until server bre
ok, will watch serverload now again.
