Archive maximum extraction size reached - How to adjust this size?

This file is only an example to Show my problem.

I'd like to scan all files who pass the UTM.

So, is there a way to configure the "Archive Maximum extraction size"?

Meghan, based on your pictures, try a test:

• With 16GB installed, note the number of GB downloaded before you get the error message.
• Reduce RAM back to 8GB and run the test again.

What is the difference between the two numbers?  That should tell you how much RAM would be needed to scan this file.

I suspect you will decide to create a VM into which you load this file without scanning it.  You can then test inside the VM without endangering your setup.

Hi Bob,

the error appears with 8 and 16GB of RAM after the file is fully downloaded.

For ~5 sec. the UTM says "scanning" and than the error appears.

Any ideas?

I don't recall ever seeing anything over 50MB scanned.  You might check other logs to see if there's some reason this message is triggered: Fallback messages, Kernel messages, Middleware, Selfmonitoring, Service monitor daemon and System messages.  Any luck there?

Really, I don't know the answer, Meghan, but my sense is that you've bumped up against a design maximum and that there's no solution to be found on the road you're following at present.

Ok, thank you for your lots of effort anyway!

Hi Meghan,

I too suspect that the issue is associated with the RAM but as I know you have already increased the RAM to 16 GB, directs our investigation towards the configured Scan Engines. The workaround to this was using Sophos as scan engine and define scan mode to Single Scan.

Regarding the recursion depth in the UTM for Sophos and Avira, I need some time to get the answers from the Dev. Team. 

Thank You,

Hi,

Thank you for your help, please have a look at the maximum scan size of Avira too!
