NAME

6       convertquota - convert quota from old file format to new one
7

SYNOPSIS

9       convertquota [ -ug ] -e filesystem
10
11       convertquota [ -ug ] -f oldformat,newformat filesystem
12

DESCRIPTION

14       convertquota  converts  old  quota  files quota.user and quota.group to
15       files aquota.user and aquota.group in  new  format  currently  used  by
16       2.4.0-ac? and newer or by SuSE or Red Hat Linux 2.4 kernels on filesys‐
17       tem.
18
19       New file format allows using quotas for 32-bit  uids  /  gids,  setting
20       quotas for root, accounting used space in bytes (and so allowing use of
21       quotas in ReiserFS) and it is also architecture independent. This  for‐
22       mat  introduces  Radix  Tree (a simple form of tree structure) to quota
23       file.

OPTIONS

26       -u, --user
27              convert user quota file. This is the default.

31
32       -f, --convert-format oldformat,newformat
33              convert quota file from oldformat to newformat.
34
35       -e, --convert-endian
36              convert vfsv0 file format from big endian to little endian  (old
37              kernels had a bug and did not store quota files in little endian
38              format).
