CLAM Antivirus uses lots of space?
Legacy Pro 6 with os 6.8.0
Hi all,
Is it normal that the antivirus eat alot of space on sys disk?
Antivirus on:
/dev/md0 4.0G 1.6G 2.1G 44% /
Antivirus off:
/dev/md0 4.0G 1.5G 2.3G 39% /
I still have an huge directory with antivirus files, around 600-700 mb.
Is this normal or should i be concerned about the 44% on md0?
I would like to have the antivirus running but since it builds up more and more i wonder...
Best regards
// Hans
Hello viperhansa,
Anti virus feature of the NAS does use space that is normal. The log you have provided shows the status of the OS partition which is at 44% as of the moment that is normal and there is no need to be concerned. I do assume that all computers on the same network as the NAS has their own anti virus application running, you have an option to disable anti virus feature on the NAS.
