REST API for "volume file async-delete"

[gentle wadi]

Anyone knows if there's an API for this command ? or is it only in the cluster shell CLI ?

I'm not sure about the ONTAP REST API but beginning with ONTAP 9.11.1, a storage administrator can grant rights on a volume to allow NFS and SMB clients to perform asynchronous delete operations. https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/flexgroup/fast-directory-delete-asynchronous-task.html

I think I just answered this on the community.. hah. But if you pass a DELETE request on a file with a timeout of 0, it will perform it async and send a link to the job back

I tried the "mv <> .ontaptrashbin" and it worked fine. I did expect to see something in EMS about the deletion getting triggered similar to what we see when triggering from CLI and I saw nothing. Is that expected ?
