That comment about "exact source" is a concern. Are you trying to
build the Sun version in the same area you built the SGI version?
To do that, you have to either remove config.cache or run "make
distclean", then start with the ./configure step again. The ./configure
script figures out (and remembers) a lot of very system specific details.
It may still think it's set up for SGI.

2.4.1p1 is a few years old. The latest version is 2.4.2p2, and is
available from www.amanda.org.

The chunksize setting only allows dumps to be split into pieces in the
holding disk (it was meant for hosts that have a 2 GByte individual
file size limitation). But the whole image still has to fit before
it is sent to tape. If you don't have enough holding disk to do that,
the image goes direct to tape.
Some future work will change that, but that's the way it is for now.
