Subject: [clamav-users] Clamonacc listing all content of watched dirs on startup

Hello,

I am currently testing clamav 0.102.1 on Linux (within a Debian Buster docker container) to execute on-access scans on folders located on an external network storage mounted via a fuse client. The issue I am facing is that, when clamonacc starts, it is listing every single file and directory under the directories specified in the file passed as argument to the --watch-list parameter.
The folders to be watched containing a few thousands files/folders, launching clamonacc overloads the file server with stat requests and I have to stop clamonacc before it is ready in order not to bring the file server down.
There is no problem in watching small folders (with tens of files) located on this file server though. Also watching folders of any (?) size part of the local file system works fine.

Is the behaviour I am experiencing to be expected? Is there a way to use clamonacc with network based filesystems?
Thank you in advance for your answers and suggestions.

Best regards,
Paul Hasenohr

Is it possible to run clamonacc on the file server (e.g., Samba)?
Or are there too many local accesses to those files.
