Oh, I see, you're doing "vos exa foo" and not "vos exa foo.readonly" and getting the message "Dump only information ... blah"

Missed the earlier part of the discussion -- why is this an issue?

Why not restore the volume (restores to RW), replicate it (same server and partition) and then remove the RW?

Mount the resulting readonly explicitly -- i.e. be sure to include the .readonly suffix in the fs mkm

Works for me.

Works perfectly. Also gives the same error reports when you do a 'vos examine' on it. Which is how this feature request got started.

Since then there's been further discussion here that leads me to think a production read-only volume is a good idea. Think about forensics, locking out users in cases of potential but unproven abuse, avoiding per-file callbacks, etc, etc...
