CONVERTQUOTA(8) CONVERTQUOTA(8)
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 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.

-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.
