I tried scanning /sys, and it gave me the same messages, but I don't think it's a bug per se. It's more likely because /sys is a 'virtual' directory, and it has a lot of special files, clamscan gets confused while scanning it. If you run 'top', you'll see that clamscan is indeed working hard to scan some of those file (like 99-100% CPU usage for clamscan process).
You could try excluding /sys (and possibly /dev ?) from scanning with the command-line option: --exclude=REGEX, --exclude-dir=REGEX Don't scan file/directory names matching regular expression. These options can be used multiple times. See if this helps. -- clamAV's scan stop on /sys dir. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/644097 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
