Compress files with progress

This uses pigz (link ) for multithreaded compression and pv (man page ) to show progress.

# for a directory
tar cf - /folder-with-big-files -P |\
  pv -s $(du -sb /folder-with-big-files |\
  awk '{print $1}') |\
  pigz --best > big-files.tar.gz

# for a single big file, like a VM HDD
tar cf - vm-image.img -P |\
  pv -s $(du -sb vm-image.img |\
  awk '{print $1}') |\
  pigz --best > vm-image.tar.gz

Output looks like this:
