I added tape_splitsize to a DLE, like so:

define dumptype comp-root-tar-charlesc-home {
    comp-root-tar
    tape_splitsize 3 Gb
    comment "Root partitions with compression, special for charlesc:/home"
    exclude list "/etc/amanda/DailySet1/excludes.charlesc.home"
}

The dump is to cirtual tapes on a hard drive. The resulting splits are
all 10 MB in size. E.g.:

-rw-------  1 amanda disk   12 2007-11-16 03:35 
00023-charlesc.localdomain._home.0
-rw-------  1 amanda disk  10M 2007-11-16 03:35 
00023.charlesc.localdomain._home.0
-rw-------  1 amanda disk   12 2007-11-16 03:35 
00024-charlesc.localdomain._home.0
-rw-------  1 amanda disk  10M 2007-11-16 03:35 
00024.charlesc.localdomain._home.0

How do I change that to a more reasonable size, like 3 Gb?

Thanks
