I am having a problem with ClamAV.
It is working great in combination with MailScanner, so no problem there.
It is on RH4U5 server.
BUT It is filling up /usr/local/share/clamav folder with subfolders like this :
drwxr-xr-x 2 clamav clamav 4096 Apr 13 20:14 clamav-ff1b8054ca4da18830a21a1d1926faea
drwxr-xr-x 2 clamav clamav 4096 Apr 13 02:33 clamav-ff308f1b0172692d11d8fcfc10acfbff
drwxr-xr-x 2 clamav clamav 4096 Apr 4 06:18 clamav-ff6e299d847b7d8c0431e2171761f588
drwxr-xr-x 2 clamav clamav 4096 Apr 23 07:01 clamav-ff97ffcfe89c09096003ac3934f2418a
drwxr-xr-x 2 clamav clamav 4096 Mar 6 02:54 clamav-fffa3aecbc960a3e99a66058a18e6c3d
Also in the same folder are files :
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 974848 Feb 26 14:42 daily.cld
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 44391424 Feb 18 12:22 main.cld
-rw------- 1 clamav clamav 104 Apr 29 10:55 mirrors.dat
In each of the subfolders is something like this :
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 17992 Feb 5 23:27 COPYING
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 214 Feb 5 23:27 daily.cfg
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 25954 Feb 5 23:27 daily.db
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 5554 Feb 5 23:27 daily.fp
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 5904 Feb 5 23:27 daily.ftm
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 14296 Feb 5 23:27 daily.hdb
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 1098 Feb 5 23:27 daily.hdu
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 762 Feb 5 23:27 daily.ign
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 713 Feb 5 23:27 daily.info
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 320 Feb 5 23:27 daily.ldb
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 4188187 Feb 5 23:27 daily.mdb
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 26056 Feb 5 23:27 daily.mdu
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 272178 Feb 5 23:27 daily.ndb
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 5179 Feb 5 23:27 daily.ndu
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 3372 Feb 5 23:27 daily.pdb
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 2088 Feb 5 23:27 daily.wdb
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 3450 Feb 5 23:27 daily.zmd
The problem is that my /usr partition is 90% full, and this folder is taking up 4,8Gb of space.
So my question is : can I delete some of it (there are over 1000 subfolders), or should I move it to another place? Does ClamAV need this to operate as it should? WHAT are thise things? My guess is some sort of updates to AV database (so can I remove old ones?).
