What is fpart ?

Fpart is a Filesystem partitioner. It helps you sort file trees and pack them into bags (called "partitions"). It is developed in C and available under the BSD license.

Fpsync, a powerful file-migration tool is also provided.

See the documentation for more details and examples.

Key features

Fpart

• Blazing fast crawling!

• Supports generating partitions from arbitrary input (e.g. du's output)

Fpsync

• Parallelizes rsync(1), cpio(1) or tar(1) jobs
• Supports using a SSH cluster for efficient data migrations
• Starts transfers while FS crawling still goes on
• Supports remote target URLs when using rsync(1)
