Hello Nicki,

This is a "severe problem" with ext2fs that has not been patched for
large file sizes, it is not a problem for amanda.  All you need to do is
define "chunksize" in your holding disk configuration to be less than 2
GB and the dump images will be split into chunks less than 2 GB for eg.:

holdingdisk hd1 {
    comment "main holding disk"
    directory "/home/amanda-hd/dds4"    # where the holding disk is
    use -256 Mb         # how much space can we use on it
                        # a negative value mean:
                        #        use all space except that value
    chunksize 1996 Mb   # size of chunk if you want big dump to be
                        # dumped on multiple files on holding disks
                        #  N Kb/Mb/Gb split images in chunks of size N
                        #  0          same as INT_MAX bytes
                        # -1          same as -INT_MAX bytes
                        # -N Kb/Mb/Gb dont split, dump images larger
than
                        #             N directly to tape (example: -2
Gb)
    }
