Clamd now fails every morning at the same exact time, I think the problem may be that I have the /tmp secure, but I am unsure.

Here are the error logs:

Fri Jan 12 04:02:22 2007 -> stream: Unable to create temporary directory ERROR
Fri Jan 12 04:02:25 2007 -> stream: Unable to create temporary directory ERROR
Fri Jan 12 04:02:27 2007 -> stream: Unable to create temporary directory ERROR
Fri Jan 12 04:02:52 2007 -> Reading databases from /var/clamav
Fri Jan 12 04:02:53 2007 -> ERROR: reload db failed: CVD extraction failure

I have to restart clam every morning.

Any help would be great!
 
It could very well be an issue with your /tmp directory or partition.

The 04:02 time means it's most likely happening as something that cron.daily does.

Why don't you run something (say at 04:05) to manually just restart clamd, the same way you do it manually.

Does that work?

I changed the tmp folder size and created another /tmp file for clamd /root/tmp. I have the /tmp as noexec,nosuid.

Seems to have worked!

Thanks for replying to this post and thank you for
