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 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 struc-
ture) 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
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
