CONVERTQUOTA(8)                                                CONVERTQUOTA(8)



NAME
       convertquota - convert quota from old file format to new one

SYNOPSIS
       convertquota [ -ug ] [ -e | -f ] 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 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 for-
       mat introduces Radix Tree (a simple form of tree  structure)  to  quota
       file.

OPTIONS
       -u     convert user quota file. This is the default.

       -g     convert group quota file.

       -f     convert from old file format to new one. This is the default.

       -e     convert new file format from big endian to little endian.

       -V     print version information.

FILES
       aquota.user         new user quota file

       aquota.group        new group quota file
