  • ONTAP
  • NFS
  • TRIM

Answer

  • No, the feature called "Trim" is specifically designed for SAN environments and is not intended for use in NAS environments
    • Note: A similar functionality in NFS is called "Sparse file operation support" for NFSv4.2
    • [-v4.2-sparsefile-ops {enabled|disabled}] - NFSV4.2 Sparse Files Ops Support (privilege: advanced)
      This optional parameter specifies whether to enable sparsefile ops for NFSv4.2. The default setting for -v4.2-sparsefile-ops is disabled
