Turning scanning off for read-only access

You can turn off virus scanning for files in a share if the files are restricted to read-only mode or speed of access is more important than safety.

About this task

Virus scanning for a share is turned on by default.

Step

  1. Enter the following command:
    cifs shares -change share_name -novscanread

    share_name is the name of the share for which you want to turn off virus scanning.

    The application does not perform a virus scan when clients open files on this share for read access. The setting is persistent after reboot.
