* Paul Kosinski via clamav-users: > [...] Anachrpnistic? Did you even read the note "Technical design limitations prevent ClamAV from scanning files greater than 2 GB at this time." in the sample config file? I'd prefer to see you provide a design proposal instead of just stating your displeasure with an already known limitation. Besides, I consider scanning files this huge a rather atypical use case, given the resource requirements. -Ralph _______________________________________________ Manage your clamav-users mailing list subscription / unsubscribe: https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav-documentation https://docs.clamav.net/#mailing-lists-and-chat
