convertquota - convert quota from old file format to new one
convertquota
[ -ug ] -e filesystem
convertquota [ -ug ] -f oldformat,newformat filesystem
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.

user quota file. This is the default.
- -g, --group

- -f,

endian format).
