# What is fpart ?

Fpart is a **F**ilesystem **part**itioner. 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](http://www.fpart.org) for more details and examples.

# Key features

## Fpart

* Blazing fast crawling!
* Generates partitions on a number/file number/size basis
* Provides a live mode with hooks to act immediately on generated file lists
* 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)
* Parallelizes your final rsync(1) pass too!
* Provides transfer runs' status/resume/replay
* Nearly no dependencies (mostly shell and common tools)
