After thinking more about it, I think that the choice should be given between: 1. Move the atop_* files under /var/log/atop to /var/log/atop.old (to be created if it doesn't exist yet). 2. Convert these files to the new format with atopconvert. 3. Both (just in case there would be a bug in atopconvert). -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
