Yes, and it's totally reasonable for it to.
Puppet has to do a stat and md5sum on every file under that path,
which depending on your system could take forever and push the iowait
up.
I've had this problem with a Rails app that stored session on the
filesystem that was deployed through Puppet's file type(!).
Recursion on the file type should be used in moderation. :-)
