I dont know if estimate honors that or just takes what you give it. I
personally only use estimate when making new filesets (to see if my
excludes work correctly). And since using estimate with LVM Snapshots
doesnt work anyways because they are not mounted for an estimate job,
most of my filesets would show 0 files anyways. Sorry i cant help with that.
