module 422 discard module 424 and so forth may be stored in the new file server address space 202 b the serialization module 420 is then invoked in one embodiment to generate the new serialization data 222 in order to do this the serialization module 420 may search the memory 200 for the client address spaces 202 a containing connection position data 212 in particular the serialization module 420 finds 606 each address space 202 and determines 608 if a particular address space 202 contains connection position data 212 once the serialization module 420 identifies a client address space 202 a which remains intact during the discard operations 508 described with reference to the reinitialization method 500 the serialization module 420 may begin to rebuild the serialization data 222 specifically the serialization module 420 may identify 610 connection data located in the application identifier field 302 directory identifier field 304 and file identifier field 306 and other similar identifier fields if applicable the serialization module 420 also identifies 612 position data located in the position identifier field 308 the serialization module 420 then uses the identified connection position information 212 to create 614 the new serialization data 222 in the new file server address space 202 b the serialization module 420 continues to read the connection position data 212 from the client address spaces 202 a and write the new serialization data 222 to the file.
