Hi everyone, Is it possible to store the daily.cld and main.cld from clamav somewhere else? They are using up 25-35% of the os partition wich is as we all know not good it it goes full. A...

Thanks for the reply,
On my system it looks like this:
root@HOA-NAS-PRO:~# du -h /var/lib/clamav
575M /var/lib/clamavStill about 15%, not 25%
I suggest moving everything but mirrors.dat to the data volume temporarily, and then re-running freshclam. I suspect that will reduce the space.

You'd have to ask Netgear. One consideration is that the AV can also protect the OS partition itself, so it should be available even if the data volume can't be mounted.
But you can move it yourself easily enough, just shift it to /data/.apps/clamav, and create a soft link in /var/lib.

On my system, /var/lib/clamav takes 205 MB - which is only about 5% of the OS partition. How much space are they taking on your system?

Any thoughts on using the built in AV at all? Or just skip it?
IMO it depends on who has write access to your NAS. If everyone who can write to the NAS has good AV on their devices, then it isn't really necessary to also run it on the NAS.
If that isn't the case (or if you simply don't know), then it's a good idea to run the the built-in AV.

root@HOA-NAS-PRO:~# du -h /var/lib/clamav
575M /var/lib/clamavMore than twice the size....
When its activated i have a usage of around 60% on OS partition.
I have some automated apps downloading and unpacking files from work and i cannot guarantee those are safe.
Other users in that environment can no or not updated antivirus.
Any special reason why its on the OS partition and not together with the other apps ?

Great!
One question, will the updating continue to work?
