The parameters fallback_splitsize default is 10M, if you don't set it.
Maybe the conditions descripted inside the manpage of amanda.conf appears
in your case and let amanda fall back to use this parameter.


fallback_splitsize
Default: 10M When dumping a split dump in PORT-WRITE mode, if no
split_diskbuffer is specified (or if we somehow fail to use our
split_diskbuffer), we must buffer split chunks in memory. This specifies
the maximum size split chunks can be in this scenario, and thus the
maximum amount of memory consumed for in-memory splitting. The size of
this buffer can be changed from its (very conservative) default to a value
reflecting the amount of memory that each taper process on the dump server
may reasonably consume.
