So I believe (I haven't verified that empirically) that after creating in a directory of choice, symlinks to files to scan, there should be no need to split the list of symlinks into smaller parts. Plain launching clamdscan on that directory should be sufficient.


I'd forgotten completely about that option. In a standard installation there's no chance in hell I'd enable it but in a scenario like this it can make sense. Thanks for the clue by 4, Tomasz.
