and so on and so forth. What is happening here and how to fix it? Currently the journal (a part of ever growing size, because these are pages and pages, is useless because unreadable.
The journal doesn't grow without bound. You chose the amount of space it should use (perhaps by default).
Nothing you can do with the journal, there is no filtering possible.
There are several filters, including a grep facility. Please RTFM.
Or, you can apply grep rules to the output of the journal to remove spam lines from view.
On the clamd problem itself, I don't know what is that message.
A web search appears to suggest the problem may be associated with something called clamacc but maybe a web search will throw up other ideas.
well clamd is the base for the on access scanner of clamav. The issue has been reported to other distributions but I wanted to investigate if others suffer the same problems.
You didn't say that was your purpose and I'm not a mind-reader.
If it for RTFM such an advice is not very useful. As you say, the journal will rotate and if then the content is just the garbage it does not help very much.
Well everything else will be logged as well as the garbage. It doesn't stop logging.
That said, the easiest method to get rid of faulty software is not to use it (so to turn of clamd and the on access scanner) but as it is supposedly useful, maybe reporting the bug could be a choice.
Now that was part of the question: does anybody had this as a problem solved and has a good workaround. Then reporting the bug would not be useful.
So thank you for your kind contribution, and before any other comes up with it; yes, I know how to read and I have google.
I'm glad to hear it, but again you didn't say so, so you must be tolerant of responses that didn't make assumptions.
