Hi !

How many tmp size must for havp (lan with 40 client) ?
I use ramdisk, but the ramdisk size only 64Mb. I do not create larger (debian os).
I scan under 150Mb/file.

The 64Mb ramdisk is enough ?

Sorry my english

thx

You should set MAXSCANSIZE to something like 5000000 (5MB). If you have 150MB right now, then anyone downloading big file will hang your server..

Also you should set ClamAV to use same ramdisk as temp for best performance, so it might be a bit small..

Thx the reply

I reduce the MAXSCANSIZE .

Another question:
How to create I bigger than 64Mb ramdisk ?
Is this possible ?

If you have debian or such, you can see if you have /etc/default/tmpfs. Edit SHM_SIZE=256m. That will edit /dev/shm that is automatically created on boot. Naturally don't set is higher than you have memory.

You can change the size without booting like this:
# mount -o remount,size=256m /dev/shm

Or you can manually create new ones like this:
# mount -t tmpfs -o size=256m tmpfs /havp

Or add to fstab:
tmpfs /havp tmpfs defaults,size=256m 0 0

Cheers,

Bigger ramdisk =

Only add to kernel boot parameters in grub.conf:
ramdisk_size=128000 #128Mb/disks

test:
# dmesg | grep RAMDISK



thx hege
