Turning virus scanning off for any access

You can turn off virus scanning for files in a share if the share is used only by trusted users or speed of access is more important than safety.

Considerations

Step

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

   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. The setting is persistent after reboot.

   Note: You can set these share attributes for all CIFS user home directories by using cifs.homedir as the share name, for example, cifs shares -change cifs.homedir -novscan
