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
       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.

       -g     convert group quota file.

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

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