The TOC file must be positioned as the first file in the tar tape and must have a file extension of .TOC. Except for the file extension, the naming of the TOC file is arbitrary. In FIGURE
In FIGURE B-2, note that index files precede data files. This arrangement, while not mandatory, takes advantage of the Sun MediaCenter software’s error checking. The server might find a value in an index file that indicates an error in the storage format of a data file. You can detect and correct the error quickly, rather than, for example, waiting 20 minutes or more to load a 2-hour MPEG title, only to find out there is an error revealed in one of the last index files on the tape.
