Antivirus is not updating (ReadyNAS OS 6.9.4)
I've just installed my new ReadyNAS 214.
First thing I did was to update the OS to version 6.9.4, so I can tell I am connected to the internet.
The antivirus, being enabled or disabled, is al...
Hi JohnCM_S,
We have RN31400-100EUS with 4x2TB disks 12% full XRAID upgraded to 6.9.4 now since October 16 saying the same error. Looking in system.log ClamAV version 0.99.3 error recommending 0.100.2 and all daily .cdiff 100% successful but the buildcld can't add the daily.hdb to the new daily.cld and hence fails to update. looked at /dev/md0 and of the 4GB its got <300MB left but that isn't the error - looks like with some offline testing its the included ClamAV version 0.99.3 thats the problem as the new signatures are not backwards compatible to before version 0.100.2
So can this be a fix in 6.9.5 sharpish??
Andrew
Ah after much testing the signatures are fine with v0.99.3 of ClamAV.
The problem turned out to be the signature files had become enormous and then corrupt in /var/lib/clamav so with a quick name change to .bck on mirrors.dat, main.cvd and daily.cvd then running freshclam -v all is good again and we have 100% AV working without issue, so have deleted the three old .bck files and all is fine...
Cheers and regards, Andrew.
Thanks for sharing this! Ran into something very similar on RN516 with 6.9.5 today. Only my 3 files were called *.cld instead of *.cvd.
Another issues seemed to be the outdated version of ClamAV: "WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!"?
After running below procedure as you desribed with "freshclam -v", the antivirus was updated again. Not sure if "bytecode.cld" should also be replaced? This is the only file that doesn't have the date updated to March 23rd.

NOTE: Because bytecode.cls remained on Jan 2, while all other files were on March 23rd, I decided to apply the same procedure. This seemed to work, as bytecode.cld was replaced with a new bytecode.cvd.

Then do Freshclam -v. when you go back to admin screen of the NAS turn off the virus checking and then apply. Wait a small amount of time and then reapply and tick to protect the OS too.
By doing the above all files including the AV control file are all rewritten and brought up to date.
When we did the 6.9.5 upgrade all was good without issue - so this is definately a fix.
