Hello John, You seem rather pressed for an answer, so I will try. These kinds of seemingly small changes sometimes create subtle bugs. What is necessary at a minimum to try to avoid them is: 1. Make sure all the regression scripts run correctly with the suggested change in the code. 2. Examine all the internal code that calls the subroutine you are suggesting to change including bat to determine if there are any dependencies on the VolumeId. Once that is done, I don't see any reason not to make your suggested change.
