CONVERTQUOTA(8)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
convert quota file from oldformat to newformat.
-e, --convert-endian
convert vfsv0 file format from big endian to little endian (old
kernels had a bug and did not store quota files in little endian
format).
-V, --version
print version information.
