I have a tape with a
.tar.lzma
archive written to it. How can I determine the size of the .tar.lzma
archived _as is_? In other words, I'm looking to find the size of the compressed archive, _not_ the size of the uncompressed .tar
it is storing -- ideally without having to copy the archive off the tape to a disk and checking from there.
The tape in question (LTO-6) is **not** formatted with any special file system, such as LTFS.
My system is using Debian 11 Bullseye on amd64, if it is relevant to mention this.
