TITLE   :Must Restart Computer Running ACLCONV on Large Volume
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:BUGLIST3.10 FIXLIST3.10.003

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you run ACLCONV on a large volume with many directories (15,000 or
more) ACLCONV may fail and you may need to restart Windows NT. ACLCONV uses
the paging file to store access control list (ACL) information. One of its
processes does not release some of this memory for each ACL entry. With a
very large number of directory and file entries, this problem can quickly
fill up your paging file.

The following error message may appear:

   Error reading data file

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and
Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem was corrected in
the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced
Server version 3.1. For information on obtaining the Service Pack,
