What happens if you call this on a mounted network volume? The docs say:
"Many volume formats do not store a field containing a directory’s
valence. For those volume formats, this field is very expensive to
compute. Think carefully before you ask the File Manager to return
this field."
Does this mean that using the call on a large directory on network
volume is likely to block badly? Has anyone tried this?
