I'd also like to see this option for "vos exa"
I know of several locations that use the vos exa update time to
determinie if a vos release is required.
This is especially important for cells with far flung fileservers over
low bandwidth links who are providing "vos release" capabilities to end
users via a srvtab/keytab or other mechanism. One former client
discovered that the end users were likely to call "vos release" without
being sure if the volume had been updated or not. "Just in case."
We used the vos exa update times to filter out volumes whose RW parents
had not been updated relative to the ROs.

The vos release won't actually do any volume copying

Any chance of adding a switch to the vos exam command
so that if you do something like
vos exam my.vol -sync -cell pictage -local
you get the old behavior, and without the -sync
you get the new behavior? If I issue the 10
vos release commands, it will have to sync
anyway, and apparently do a lot more stuff.
Since I'm interested in the Last Update
field, it would be helpful to have a way to
make sure it's accurate. For the times when
I don't care, of course the new behavior is
preferable.
Just a thought.
Not a bad idea, since the client application decides which call it uses.
As Jeff mentioned, it's inaccurate for about 25 min.
So, this matters just for 25 minutes, than your tools would probably
work as before.
