After tar has finished writing to the tape device is there a way to see how large the finished tar on tape is?
Forgive me if this sounds impressively stupid, but would you not just use ls(1) for that?
Also, is there a way to monitor the transfer rate to the tape device?
I doubt that there's a trivial way to do that, and I'm not knowledgeable enough to really be able to help with any non-trivial way to do this.
