I followed the instructions here for setting up on access scanning
https://www.clamav.net/documents/on-access-scanning
The only instruction I couldn't follow was this:
Set the `ScanOnAccess` option to `yes` There was no such option in
/etc/clamav/clamd.conf I also saw no option to set for scan on access
any particular file type. I tried sudo clamonacc, tested the test
files and it didn't stop me accessing them. I found out that starting
clamonacc with the -F option can be helpful when something isn't
working. I tried delboy@ladmo:~$ sudo clamonacc and a minute or so
later, here's what I got:
ClamInotif: watching '/home/delboy' (and all sub-directories)
ERROR: ClamInotif: could not watch path '/home/delboy', No space left on
device
ClamScanQueue: stopped
ClamInotif: stopped
Clamonacc: stopped
delboy@ladmo:~$
df -h shows 1.1T available on the disk mounted as my home directory.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
thanks
