Dear Sebastian, sorry for the late reply
most likely, the daemon is swapped out. We are talking about a memory restricted system with the obligation to run daily scans on the file system. It seems that running clamdscan with the daemon is still faster while scanning the major part of the file system, compared to running clamscan, even if the daemon uses some swap space. Obviously, this setup is not optimal. I looked into running clamdscan against a service on a different system in the same network, but this seems not to be supported out of the box. Would it hurt to increase the timeout or make it adjustable? Dominik Am Mi., 20.
