Hello,

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 ???? Hmmm, man convertquota says: 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 Red Hat Linux 2.4 kernels on filesystem. So I guess the old quotafiles are converted and no old versions (i.e. backup copies) are left on the system. That's what the sentence above probably wants to tell us. If you want to make sure you can convert back just make a backup copy of your old quota files before you run convertquota.
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.

How to find a program on your system if you know the name already: 1. find / -name 'convertquota' -print 2. locate convertquota If that doesn't yield any results then I would guess it doesn't exist on your system or is very well hidden. On a SuSE 7.2 system I set up a few weeks ago I could not find convertquota either, all I find with locate is: /usr/share/man/allman/man8/convertquota.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/convertquota.8.gz Maybe jack@suse.cz is the person to contact, he is the author according to the manpage - so dont be shy and ask :-) HTH Erwin
