FIGURE 5-1 Loading Content with smc_tar
After loading content with smc_tar , you can pass a TOC file (title name) as an
argument to MSM Client API functions (described in the Sun MediaCenter Server
Programmer’s Guide), to play the title described by that TOC file.
If a disk failure occurs when smc_tar is writing a title to a disk controlled by the
Media File System (MFS), all files associated with that title—including the TOC file
and index files—are erased.
5.3.3 Copying Content
With the c option, smc_tar copies all of the files associated with a title from one or
more Sun MediaCenter servers to a tar device or file. This operation is illustrated in
FIGURE 5-2 .
