Remember this, when we wrote about the large memory footprint of clamd?
Well, it no longer happens, clamd is swapped out soon after a mail fetch run:

I did nothing in the end. Perhaps some update altered the way clamd behaves regarding memory :-?
Unlikely I would say. Besides, it isn't really the job for an application to determine when to be swapped and when to be out :-) Your situation does look weird - about 5Gb of free memory, so although clam isn't in use at the moment, there's no reason for it to be swapped out. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (1.2°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
