Listing all directories within a Qtree | NetApp | Page 1

Hi there,

I was wondering if it's possible to return all directories within a Qtree? I can create a recursive function that grabs the directories with FileInfo but I was wondering whether there is an in-built function that does this?

you should be able to do a standard "ls" command
:>node run -node NODE1 -command "ls /vol/volume0/qtree0"

#

diag priv mode

File System Analytics might be able to with CURL, but it gives you more responses than obviously just subdirectories.

CURL/REST.

I have no idea how to implement that, but I think it's possible.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I've been able to do it recursively with FSA and it works no problem! I do have a problem though, I can see when I run FSA that it updates the directory access time which is suboptimal, should it not be doing that?

Access time (atime) means when the file or directory was last read. Since FSA reads the directory, it will update the atime. You can disable atime updates on a per-volume basis but then nothing will update it anymore, neither FSA nor client access.

@pallid cliff I find that quite puzzling, what is the point of FSA returning atime then? If everytime I run FSA it updates the atime, it might as well return the current time?
