+      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.
