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)
