Fpart is a tool that helps you sort file trees and pack them into bags
(called "partitions").
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 a
limited size.
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. immediatly start a transfer using rsync(1))
without having to wait for the filesystem traversal job to be finished.
Used this way, fpart can be seen as a powerful data migration tool.
