Hello, Thxs for your help, I have find some informations on SuSE Sdb : ====================================================================== http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/rschmid_quota.html Symptom: After installation, setup of quota and reboot it fails with something similar like: beaulieu:~ # quotaon -a quotaon: using /home/aquota.group on /dev/sda1 [/home]: Invalid argument quotaon: using /home/aquota.user on /dev/sda1 [/home]: Invalid argument Cause: Our Paket on the CD has an error. Solution: make Yast Online Update (YOU) of package quota and run: convertquota -e Please keep in mind that all existing quotas will be erased by doing this. ====================================================================== Is this the solution to loose all my existing quotas ???? Also, I have search the command converquota, how should be in /usr/sbin/convertquota but nothing there. The quotatools are installed and a convertquota man page exist. Where is located this tool ? Thxs for all. Eric

Ok the aquota.user work fine. But the format is different since I have install the new RPM...
Yes, due to an endianness compilation problem, the quota files have to be converted. You can use "convertquota -e" to convert the old files.
