    Abstract: An updatable and expandable directory structure and resultant access procedures emulating a write-once or indelible record medium (20) to a rewriteable record medium as to accessing characteristics. The directory is indexed; one directory header for a first set of files indexes another set of files. Sector clusters or data extents are managed such that random recording from any file proceeds independently of write-once characteristics. The directory is stored on the medium as data is recorde. Each directory entry contains an archival history of recording of a related data file in the medium. Both logical and physical addressing is employable.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical disk data storage system having an optical data storage member with a multiplicity of data storage locations and comprising signal transfer means for optically sensing data recorded in a first storage location on the storage member including error detecting and correcting means for correcting sensed data to corrected data and means for establishing and measuring acceptability criteria of the data sensing, means for establishing a high threshold of acceptability criteria for sensed data, means for comparing the measured acceptability criteria with the established high threshold for determining whether the measured acceptability criteria meet the high threshold, and means for detecting that the measured acceptability high threshold is not acceptable and then for activating the signal transfer means for recording the sensed data at a second data storage location on said storage member.

    Abstract: A large capacity data storing disk includes a volume table of contents (VTOC) which identifies allocated ones of data storage tracks and identification of the data contents therein, indications of unallocated data storage track and an indication of which of the data storage tracks on the large capacity disk surface are unformatted. The indications may also include indications of unallocated "erased" tracks that do not contain data residuals from previous recordings. Those unallocated tracks having such erased condition in a count key data record format (CKD) require a home address record on each of the formatted tracks. The home address record may include indications of rotational position of defects to be skipped over during the recording and readback operations. A specific embodiment of the invention using a magnetooptic record medium is described.
