Hello @Andrew thanks for the tip.

We tried what you suggested by running du without the -s when the issue re-occurred, however we did not see any difference when comparing the results with "diff" to the following files:

- "disk_usage_before_restart.txt": du -h results when the disk usage is almost full
- "disk_usage_after_restart.txt":  du -h results after restarting "clamonacc" and disk space has been freed


		~$ diff <(grep -v "/proc" disk_usage_before_restart.txt) <(grep -v "/proc" disk_usage_after_restart.txt)
