This is covered in the man page:

          Default:  300 seconds.  Amount of time per  disk  on  a
          given  client that the planner step of amdump will wait
          to get the dump size estimates.  For instance, with the
          default  of  300  seconds  and  four disks on client A,
          planner will wait up to 20 minutes for that machine.  A
          negative value will be interpreted as a total amount of
          time, instead of a per-disk value.

Note that, when positive, it is per disk.  When negative, it is per
host (and the man page needs a minor tweak to make that point).
