For amdump and friends, blocksize is set in the tapetype. For amtapetype,

When changing the blocksize, will amanda happily read (restore) older tapes
written with a different blocksize, or will I have to recover them manually?
Will she correctly overwrite recycled tapes with the new blocksize?
Amanda will happily restore older tapes -- amrestore can determine the
blocksize itself and/or you can specify it on the command line. And
I'm fairly certain it'll overwrite recycyled tapes, but that's easily
tested.
