ClamAv
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.

Any special reason why its on the OS partition and not together with the other apps
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.

i did a softlink per file.
That won't work. freshclam isn't updating the file, it's downloading a new file and deleting the old. In your case, that deletes the softlink.

if so, how do you create a softlink for a folder?
As you can see from the above, I made a softlink for the folder. It's no different from creating a softlink for a file.
# cd /var/lib # ln -s /data/.apps/clamav clamav
Thanks!
That worked!
I'm back to 39% used space on OS partition... :-)
