Clamd start-up times out

Resolved
0 votes
Since Nov 29th clamd does not startup anymore, it takes too long to read the virus database and is therefore terminated by systemd:

Nov 29 01:35:19 gateway systemd: Starting ClamAV daemon...

Nov 29 01:36:49 gateway systemd: clamd.service start operation timed out. Terminating.

Nov 29 01:36:50 gateway systemd: Failed to start ClamAV daemon.

Nov 29 01:36:50 gateway systemd: Unit clamd.service entered failed state.

Nov 29 01:36:50 gateway systemd: clamd.service failed.


In clamd.log I see that the time needed for loading the virus database incresed from 40 seconds on Nov 28th to 1min 40 seconds (when I start clamd from command line).

Systemd timeout is 90s, thats why the service is terminated and does not come up anymore. I deleted and freshly updated the virus databases, but this didn't change anything.

Any ideas what has changed on Nov. 29th causing the problem? I have two systems showing the same behaviour (both are Zotac ZBOX CI323 nano running ClearOS 7.4)

So it is looking like any clearsdn-antimalware since 29/11 is possibly causing the issue. I'll ask the dev's but I may not get to talk to them until the end of the week. I have no idea what the update contains.

Have you tried something like adding:
TimeoutSec=5min
to the [Service] section in /usr/lib/systemd/system/clamd.service? I don't think the 5min needs to be quoted and produced no errors when I tried it. Then run:
systemctl daemon-reload

systemctl restart clamd.service

    I filed a tracker item, 18081 and the devs have responded. It looks like the workround you implemented is the best for the moment.

    Hello Nick, that's what I did for now, seems to work, I'll have a look on it.

    Thanks, Martin

    The clearsdn-antimaware package causes the problem. When I uninstall it clamd reads it's databse very fast, when I install it (which takes some minutes) time for reading database increases.

    What does this package include?

    I uninstalled a bunch of apps: app-file-scan, app-antimalware, app-antiphishing, app-antivirus, app-content-filter,app-mail-antivirus, clamav*, clearsdn-antimalware, clearsdn-antispam, dansguardian*, and web-proxy I think. I also removed all remaining clam* and dansguardian* folders and config files.

    Unfortunately the problem is back again, after the update of clearsdn-antimalware today night at 05:15:39.

    There have been two updates tonight, clearsdn-antispam at 3:55am and clearsdn-antimalware at 05:15. After clearsdn-antispam update everything was still ok, but after antimalware clamd service continously timed out. top shows clamd running with 100%, but I think this is because systemd tries to start it up after the service startup timed out.

    clamd.log from tonight:

    I've tried removing clam* and app-antiv*. This also removed app-antimalware*, app-antiphishing*, app-mail-antivirus* and clearsdn-anti* as dependencies. Reinstalling them and restarting clamd made little of no difference - startup time dropped slightly to 18s so not the improvement you've seen. Did you reinstall the clearsdn bits?

    I don't run dansguardian and IDS is a completely different program suite. Is there anything else you removed and reinstalled?

    Hmm. I can see on my system that since:
    Nov 29 02:48:34 Updated: clearsdn-antimalware-6.1-20171128.1025.noarch
    my start up time has doubled. I'll see if I can check it out or raise a bug report.

    "freshclam" showed everything up to date, also "freshclam" after deleting *.cld and *.cvd didn't help. There were no error messages in any log when directly starting clamd from command line. "service clamd start" shows some "timed out" message.

    Reading database took about 30s on Nov 28th (and before), after the antimalware update on Nov 29th the service continously timed out.

    "yum history" shows that clearsdn-antimalware had been updated:

    Update                       6.1-20171128.1025.noarch @private-clearcenter-antimalware


    I cannot undo this update because yum cannot download the old version anymore.

    I therefore uninstalled everything related to antimalware (gateway-antivirus, clam*, dans*, intrusion*, etc.) and reinstalled step by step. Now everthing is running as before, clamd loads the database again in 30s.

    Interestingly the same happed on the other system at the same time, I'll try to repair this one tomorrow.

    It looks like you can change systemd timeouts for specific services. Have a look at this thread. The file you'd want to edit is /usr/lib/systemd/system/clamd.service.

    By way of comparison, Passmark scores my processor (i3-4130) at 4792 and yours at 1662 so roughly three times faster.

    Can you try updating the virus database with the command "freshclam"? Then try starting clamd from the command line ("service clamd start") and look for any error messages there and in the /var/log/clamav/ logs....... except you seem to have pretty much done this.

    Mine seems to take just 19s to start.

    [edit]
    Even odder, but clamav was not updated on Nov 29th.
