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
structure) to quota file.

- -f, --convert-format oldformat,newformat
