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 SuSE or Red Hat Linux 2.4 kernels on filesys- tem. 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, --user convert user quota file. This is the default. -g, --group convert group quota file. -f, --convert-format convert from old file format to new one.
