Hey Ged, Thanks for getting back to me. I'll overlook the sarcastic cynicism - it's probably healthy (and I'm partial myself). As to xargs, I wanted a config file rather than command line but clamd/clamdscan raises more complications around user and selinux permissions etc so xargs seemed, ironically, the simplest/quickest way forward.
Dunno why / and /home being on the same fs didn't spook me - I suppose I just accepted it as a Fedora thing as Fedora's not my usual distro - in any case thanks for highlighting it and prompting me to find https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/621771/295876 ... which says this is normal for Fedora now - not something to be concerned about. It would seem that clamscan should be scanning /home but just doesn't take this Fedora/btrfs situation into account ( its a std Fedora 35 WS install albeit as a VM ) If this is the reason then that's technically a bug I'd say - there are 2 legitimate dirs to scan. Any thoughts before I post on github ? Bob. On Friday, 8 April 2022, 18:12:09 BST, G.W.

Kinda creative and unnecessary, I think, to use xargs in this way and the result goes against the 'man' page for clamscan although I guess you'll get away with it. Normally I'd prefer to show full pathnames for something like this, and keep the commands as simple as possible. You don't need quotes in your regexes in clamscan.conf, they'd only be necessary if there were things like space characters in them. > Output from df on excluded dirs: > Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on > /dev/vda2 975712256 5701400 968353688 1% / > /dev/vda1 996780 270116 657852 30% /boot > devtmpfs 4096 0 4096 0% /dev > /dev/vda2 975712256 4757620 969293244 1% /home If we are to believe what you've pasted there then you have /dev/vda2 mounted twice, once on '/' and once on '/home'. Why it seems to think that you have different amounts of space 'Used' and 'Available' on the partition when it's mounted on different mount points I don't know but it feels like something's badly messed up and you should sort that out before you do anything else. > ... > /home: Excluded - SAME FS: ??? > ... > > So why is /home excluded ? I think it's telling you - the partition is mounted twice and it's a little concerned by that. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
