Is there a way to see any tar progress per file?
- by Svish
I have a couple of big files that I would like to compress. I can do this with for example
tar cvfj big-files.tar.bz2 folder-with-big-files
The problem is that I can't see any progress, so I don't have a clue how long it will take or anything like that. Using v I can at least see when each file is completed, but when the files are few and large this isn't the most helpful.
Is there a way I can get tar to show more detailed progress? Like a percentage done or a progress bar or estimated time left or something. Either for each single file or all of them or both.
