NAME
convertquota - convert quota from old file format to new one
SYNOPSIS
convertquota [ -ug ] [ -e | -f ] filesystem
DESCRIPTION
convertquota converts old quota files quota.user and quota.group to files aquota.user and aquota.group in new format currently used by 2.4.0-ac? and newer or by Red Hat Linux 2.4 kernels on filesystem. New file format allows using quotas for 32-bit uids / gids, setting quotas for root, accounting used space in bytes (and so allowing use of quotas in ReiserFS) and it is also architecture independent. This format introduces Radix Tree (a simple form of tree structure) to quota file.
OPTIONS
-u convert user quota file. This is the default. -g convert group quota file. -f convert from old file format to new one. This is the default. -e convert new file format from big endian to little endian. -V print version information.
FILES
aquota.user new user quota file aquota.group new group quota file
