percentage of 8mm backup tape used

Anybody know of a way to determine what percentage / how much of a tape has
been used up during a backup to determine how much more we can throw on to
the tape?

The media in question is Lexmark (previously IBM) part number 59H2678
capacity - 20/40GB (uncompressed / compressed), length - 170M.

I looked at the tctl command but nothing stood out.

TIA

Vipin
