I notice it's well over 2 (or 4) GBytes in size. It's my understanding
Linux does not support files > 2 GBytes. What do you have chunksize set
to in amanda.conf? I'd suggest something along the lines of 1000 MBytes.

Not really a nice way. If you poke around at the process tree and find
the dumper doing the work (you can also look through the amdump file and
map back dumperNN that got the {PORT|FILE}-DUMP command to the begging
of the file where the PID's are listed), just kill it. That will either
get it to give up or it will try that dump one more time and you can
kill off that dumper.
I already have a TODO item to come up with a cleaner way to do this.
