Description: "Fpart is a tool that helps you sort file trees and pack them into
bags (called "partitions"). It is developed in C and available under the BSD
license.
It splits a list of directories and file trees into a certain number of
partitions, trying to produce partitions with the same size and number of
files. It can also produce partitions with a given number of files or of a
limited size. Fpart uses a bin packing algorithm to optimize space utilization
amongst partitions.
Once generated, partitions are either printed as file lists to stdout (default)
or to files. Those lists can then be used by third party programs.
Fpart also includes a live mode, which allows it to crawl very large
filesystems and produce partitions in live. Hooks are available to act on those
partitions (e.g. immediately start a transfer using rsync(1) or cpio(1))
without having to wait for the filesystem traversal job to be finished. Used
that way, fpart can be seen as a powerful basis for a data migration tool.
Fpart can also generate lists of directories instead of files. That mode can be
useful to enable usage of options requiring overall knowledge of directories
such as rsync's --delete.
As a demonstration of fpart possibilities, a tool called fpsync is provided in
the tools/ directory."
