Agreed... Making it an option would be a much cleaner solution.

It's all these changes/weirdnesses etc. that is causing me to not even consider moving to the 6.5 series yet. I plan on staying with 6.4.x for quite a while longer, until the rest of the changes/bugs/etc have been found and ironed out.

I am with Matt on this one. If you want it to default as "on" that is fine. Then those of us who want to do everything ourselves are happy and those that want a little more help are happy too.

I appreciate NA trying to help but really... this goes a little too far. C-

I'll put myself in here, it seems like as good a point as any. And I'll forwarn you that I am the one who coded all of the changes in the way OnTap handles exports.

One thing to be remembered in all of this discussion is that the export changes were driven by customer requests. So, what one customer may not like, some other customer *had* to have in the code.

So why not an "option auto_update_exports off" ???

Then, we can *all* have it "our way".
