According to
[tar|https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/Blocking.html] the
definition of a block is 512 bytes, and a record is a collections of blocks
that will be written in a single write. In the commons compress code and docs,
it is mentioned that a record has a fixed size of 512 bytes, and a block
contains several records, which is the other way around.
