The recommended block size of the tar format is 500 512-byte blocks, or 256,000 bytes. The default blocking factor for tar is 20 blocks, or 10,240 bytes.

B.6.2 Tapes

The Sun MediaCenter server supports both 4-mm and 8-mm cartridge tapes.

B.7 Example

This section provides an example of a content package—the TOC ﬁle and the index and data ﬁles for each bit stream—and its storage on a tape using the tar format.

The names of the ﬁles that make up our example content package are shown in the tar output, below:

server# tar tf /dev/rmt/0 bambi.TOC bambi.1x.index bambi.7x.index bambi.10x.index bambi.7nx.index bambi.10nx.index bambi.1x.mpeg bambi.7x.mpeg bambi.10x.mpeg bambi.7nx.mpeg bambi.10nx.mpeg

The tar tf command above lists the table of contents on a tar ﬁle or device, /dev/rmt/0 in this example. The tar output indicates that the content package consists of a TOC ﬁle, bambi.TOC, and ﬁve bit streams associated with the content at various speeds. Each bit stream contains an index ﬁle (.index) and an MPEG data ﬁle (.mpeg).

In our example, as in FIGURE B-2on page B-13, the index ﬁles for a content package appear immediately after the TOC ﬁle on the tape.
