 CONVERTQUOTA(8)                                   CONVERTQUOTA(8)
 
 
 
NAME
        convertquota  -  convert quota from old file format to new
        one
 
SYNOPSIS
        convertquota [ -ug ] 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  format  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.
 
        -V     print version information.
 
FILES
        aquota.user         new user quota file
 
        aquota.group        new group quota file
