1. A computer readable memory device comprises:

  • a first memory section storing operational instructions that, when executed by a computing device, causes the computing device to;

    receive a file access request;

    a second memory section storing operational instructions that, when executed by the computing device, causes the computing device to;

    identify a directory file path based on the file access request;

    a third memory section storing operational instructions that, when executed by the computing device, causes the computing device to;

    determine that a directory address of a directory file of the directory file path is not available; and

    when the directory address is not available, determine whether to reconstruct the directory address or to use a redundant directory file path; and

    a fourth memory section storing operational instructions that, when executed by the computing device, causes the computing device to;

    when reconstructing the directory address;

    retrieve encoded components of the directory address from a plurality of agent modules; and

    when at least a threshold number of the encoded components of the directory address have been received, reconstruct the directory address from the at least a threshold number of the encoded components of the directory address.
