Is there any way of reorganizing the quota.* files?
I once made the mistake to mark files using a high uid/gid, something like
8888888 (yes, I know, it's not very clever, but I did it), and then the
virtual size of the quota files grew to 28MB. Now I don't use these (and
similar) id's any more, but the quota files keep their size.
Is there a way to shrink the files?
Even though 28MB are only the virtual size, I would like to get rid
of these big files:
1. It's ugly :-)
2. When tarring the file set, the files need tape blocks according to their
virtual size, not to their real size.
I've been told that gnu tar has an option for handling sparse files
efficiently, but not all programs are equipped like this.
Thanks for any hints,
