convertquota - convert quota from old file format to new one
Contents
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.
Files
aquota.user new user quota file
aquota.group new group quota file
