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 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, --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.

FILES

       aquota.user         new user quota file

       aquota.group        new group quota file
