Applies to

  • ONTAP
  • NFS

Answer

  • Tree recursively checks file attribute and directory structure.
  • The mix of calls sent by the Tree command will vary based on the contents of the local client NFS cache.
  • Changes in the contents of the client cache will impact the calls sent and thus run time.

Additional Information

Clearing local cache between runs will standardize run times.
