Yup.
rerun configure, and recompile amanda client.

Im not sure if this is going to work

Why not simply in disklist
misp    /a/felix        comp-tar
misp    /a/not-felix    comp-tar

and move all dirs that are not felix to a new dir (/a/not-felix) and stick
symlinks (as in ln -s /a/not-felix/* /a).

The estimate getting will be a lot faster
(and even more if you use my hack to sendsize ;) )

Kind regards,
