+ <td>Adds the specified directory or directories to the directory list that rEFInd scans for EFI boot loaders when <tt>scanfor</tt> includes the <tt>internal</tt>, <tt>external</tt>, or <tt>optical</tt> options. Directories are specified relative to the filesystem's root directory. You may precede a directory path with a volume name and colon, as in <tt>somevol:/extra/path</tt>, to restrict the extra scan to a single volume. A volume number, preceded by <tt>fs</tt>, can be used for volumes that lack names, as in <tt>fs1:/extra/path</tt>. If you don't specify a volume name or number, this option is applied to <i>all</i> the filesystems that rEFInd scans. If a specified directory doesn't exist, rEFInd ignores it (no error results). The default value is <tt>boot</tt>, which is useful for locating Linux kernels when you have an EFI driver for your Linux root (<tt>/</tt>) filesystem.</td>

+ <td>Adds the specified volume or volumes to a volume "blacklist"—these filesystems are <i>not</i> scanned for EFI boot loaders. This may be useful to keep unwanted EFI boot entries, such as for a Macintosh recovery partition, from appearing on the main list of boot loaders. The default value is <tt>Recovery HD</tt>, to keep the Mac recovery volume from appearing. (It should get its own tools icon instead—see the <tt>showtools</tt> token.)</td>

+ <td>directory path(s)</td>
+ <td>Adds the specified directory or directories to a directory "blacklist"—these directories are <i>not</i> scanned for boot loaders. You may optionally precede a directory path with a volume name and a colon to limit the blacklist to that volume; otherwise all volumes are affected. For instance, <tt>EFI/BOOT</tt> prevents scanning the <tt>EFI/BOOT</tt> directory on <i>all</i> volumes, whereas <tt>ESP:EFI/BOOT</tt> blocks scans of <tt>EFI/BOOT</tt> on the volume called <tt>ESP</tt> but not on other volumes. You can use a filesystem number, as in <tt>fs0</tt>, in place of a volume name. This token may be useful to keep duplicate boot loaders out of the menu; or to keep drivers or utilities out of the boot menu, if you've stored them in a subdirectory of <tt>EFI</tt>. This option takes precedence over <tt>also_scan_dirs</tt>; if a directory appears in both lists, it will <i>not</i> be scanned.</td>

This is useful to exclude support programs (such as <tt>shim.efi</tt> and <tt>MokManager.efi</tt>) and drivers from your OS list. The default value is <tt>shim.efi, MokManager.efi, HashTool.efi, TextMode.efi, ebounce.efi, GraphicsConsole.efi</tt>.</td>
