OK. Sorry for the confusion.

Shouldn't this be in the FAQ (or was I just too blind to find it?)? I'd
hate to think that I am the only one making this mistake.


ClamAV is an antivirus tool. It is reasonable to expect it will be used on file systems where there is a reasonable expectation of finding a virus. The file systems you scanned are pseudo file systems created at each boot up, and there is no possibility of finding a virus there, hence no reason to look.

Those file systems need to be well understood by the admin as it is possible to create a lot of problems for the system if they are misused.
