Dear Asa,

As Bang already says, your message is not very clear on details. Normally when running vc-relax pw.x will do a final self-consistent calculation after the relaxiation has converged. You can definitely extract cell parameters at that point (positions and celldm); I have done so many times.

There is a weakness, and sometimes the code crashes at the point of doing this self-consistent calculation (when the unit/super cell has changed too much). Even at that point, you can use the final output of the code to reconstruct the positions and the cell shape. A good way to check is to use the scripts for xcrysden; the "videos" xcrysden makes are usually a very good test of the minimisation, and will show you what happens.
