MAR file_hash.db size exceeds max db size set in MAR policy

[jeffwol1]

We are seeing instances of the file_hash.db file growing well past the limit of 60 MB set in the MAR File Hashing policy. In one case the size of the file was 123 GB. Has anybody run into this? How do we clean up the database so it doesn't take up so much disk space?

Should be fixed in the last few builds.  We saw it in the older ones.

"It should be" is really not good enough answer. The the file_hash.db grow larger we can see that MAR questions over DXL times out when exeeding a certain size.

Any information on if this is fixed in any version?

Well now, considering I don't work for McAfee, my "should be" answer was out of kindness.  If you care to check release notes you'll see one of the last several builds includes it in the fix.  I don't recall which one it was, but 2.4.1/2 definitely includes it.  I'm pretty sure ones prior to that as well.

Thanks, I will investigate that.
