You must defined a split_diskbuffer if the dump go directly to tape
without using a holding disk.
In this case, there is no advantage to use a tape_splitsize bigger than
your memory size. Also, on a 32 bit system, it is limited to below 2Gb.

I added tape_splitsize to a DLE, like so:

tape_splitsize 3 Gb

exclude list "/etc/amanda/DailySet1/excludes.charlesc.home"
}
The dump is to cirtual tapes on a hard drive. The resulting splits are
all 10 MB in size. E.g.:
-rw------- 1 amanda disk 12 2007-11-16 03:35
00023-charlesc.localdomain._home.0
-rw------- 1 amanda disk 10M 2007-11-16 03:35
00023.charlesc.localdomain._home.0
-rw------- 1 amanda disk 12 2007-11-16 03:35
00024-charlesc.localdomain._home.0
-rw------- 1 amanda disk 10M 2007-11-16 03:35
00024.charlesc.localdomain._home.0
How do I change that to a more reasonable size, like 3 Gb?
Thanks
