ABSTRACT:
In one form, in a method for mapping file handles, protocol data elements are created for respective file system protocols. Such a protocol data element identifies a structure of server handles for the data element's corresponding protocol. File system data elements are created for server file systems. Such a file system data element includes a file system identification (FSID) attribute. Responsive to accessing an object of one of the server file systems, a value for the FSID attribute of the corresponding file system data element is created for reconstructing the object's server handle. Creating the value includes parsing, responsive to one of the protocol data elements, an FSID of a server handle for the object.
