# 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), pax(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)
