ClamAV - additional settings

[Gremlin]

I have noticed that ClamAV can bring my lower powered nas units (-221) to their knees (figuratively) when running scans. This is particularly noticeable on the F5-221 presumably due to the array environment (4 x Traid) and the choice to run 'realtime' protection as well. (Utilising 10GB ram and updated to Tos7 yesterday.)

I am aware that linux provides several mechanisms to permit the limitation of resources, but that complicates the actual implementation outside of the provided app.

Would it be possible to provide settings, within the app, to limit cpu or memory resources, if the user requires it

System resource consumption is related to the characteristics of the application. This application needs to scan the system, thus consuming a significant amount of resources.

Regarding your suggestion to add resource consumption limits to the application, I will forward this request to the product team for evaluation.
