[clamav-users] How to scan a single partition

[Sorin Petrut Niculae]

Hello,

You can use the --exclude-dir= option and indicate what you want to exclude from the scan process.

Regards.

Asunto: [clamav-users] How to scan a single partition

Hi altogether,

My system is Linux/Lubuntu 20.04.2 LTS, 64 bit.

I have three partitions: root-, home- and a third (data-)partition with 23 GB, 36 GB and 193 GB respectively plus 3 usb-sticks:

df -h

/dev/sdc3       193G     99G   84G   55% /media/rosika/f14a27c2-0b49-4607-94ea-2e56bbf76fe1      # 3rd partition (data-partition)
/dev/sdb         30G     26G  3,9G   87% /media/rosika/74C1-30C7                                                       # usb-stick 3


What I want to do is: scan the root-partition exclusively, not the other ones and not the sticks.

What command would I need for this?

Looking around on the web I found this command (https://pikedom.com/clam-anti-virus-on-arch-linux/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/pikedom.com/clam-anti-virus-on-arch-linux/__;!!MvyJQugb!UTh6PNfhWdejMB2D2RnSbIP71nosYbh3kI0IwKzHttlCCE8FeJ1WQN7iSW3K$> ):

clamscan --recursive --infected --exclude-dir='^/sys|^/dev|^/proc|^/var/lib/clamav' --max-filesize=4000M --max-scansize=4000M / -l ~/clamav-scan-results/201803261436

As the starting point is / this would scan everything, right? Which is not what I want to achieve.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Many greetings.
Rosika
