I cannot tell you because I haven't done this. However, the following UNIX
commands should give you a somewhat close estimate of the number of K bytes
needed. Unfortunately, it does tend to underestimate. That's because I
cannot easily figure out how big a subdirectory will become.
pax -lvf smpe-archive.pax | \
awk 'BEGIN {sum=0};sum=sum+$5/1024+1;END {print "total=" sum;}'
The pax command lists the files in the pax with their sizes. The awk program
then divides the size by 1024 (to get K) and adds 1 "just for fun".
