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 cur-
       rently 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 sim-
       ple form of tree structure) to quota file.

              convert user quota file. This is the default.

              convert group quota file.

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

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

       -V, --version
              print version information.
