CONVERTQUOTA(8) System Manager's Manual CONVERTQUOTA(8)
NAME
convertquota - convert quota from old file format to new one
SYNOPSIS
convertquota [ -ug ] -e filesystem
convertquota [ -ug ] -f oldformat,newformat 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 SuSE or Red Hat Linux 2.4 kernels on filesys-
tem.
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 for-
mat introduces Radix Tree (a simple form of tree structure) to quota
file.
OPTIONS
-u, --user
convert user quota file. This is the default.
-g, --group
convert group quota file.
-f, --convert-format oldformat,newformat

-e, --convert-endian

format).
