this is strange to me but maybe not to y'all I use clamscan --exclude in other places but this certain one will not work...
let me put up my fstab before I explain k:
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 LABEL=/rbbu /rbbu ext3 defaults 1 2 none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=SWAP-hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
kk...the line: LABEL=/rbbu
/rbbu is hdc. it's a 250gb drive just to act as a backup server for various machines.
I want to clamscan the whole system excluding /rbbu clamscan --exclude=/rbbu /
just a very basic line...of course there is much more to the real one but this is the problem child.
considering the LABEL=/rbbu and /rbbu being the mount point ....I believe this might be where the problem lies but I'm not sure.
If I must, I could rename the mount point to something else and now thinking bout it, would not cause that many problems...just a lot of tweaking in lots of scripts which I would rather not but if y'all feel that's the fix then it will be done!
thx,

John,
How about --exclude-dir=/rbbu? Also, insure that clamscan doesn't scan anything linked to /rbbu.
