NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

9       convertquota [ -ug ] [ -e | -f ] filesystem
10

DESCRIPTION

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