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.
