Open Source Linux File Systems - Page 32

Ever formated a FAT partition and regretted it? I did and wrote this to recover the lost files. Its kinda hacky. Its aimed at finding mostly word/excel files but will find others.

The FAT16/FAT32 non-destructive resizer.

A highly-portable and optimized FAT filesystem implementation for embedded systems and microcontrollers.

FCachefs is read-write caching filesystem for linux ( and maybe other platforms, where FUSE has been ported ) based on FUSE and Python.

fd is a program to find entries in your filesytem. It is a simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to find. While it does not aim to support all of find's powerful functionality, it provides sensible (opinionated) defaults for a majority of use cases. First, to get an overview of all available command line options, you can either run fd -h for a concise help message or fd --help for a more detailed version. fd is designed to find entries in your filesystem. The most basic search you can perform is to run fd with a single argument: the search pattern. Instead of just showing the search results, you often want to do something with them. fd provides two ways to execute external commands for each of your search results: the -x/--exec option runs an external command for each of the search results (in parallel), or the -X/--exec-batch option launches the external command once, with all search results as arguments.

Example code for fat16, iso9660 and ext2, its characteristic is simple, we only focus on how the file system data is maintained on hard drive.

fstransform is a tool to change a file-system from one format to another, for example from jfs/xfs/reiser to ext2/ext3/ext4, in-place and without the need for backup. Source code is hosted on github: https://github.com/cosmos72/fstransform

Fileboy is an open source, feature-rich, graphical file system explorer. It is mainly intended as a replacement for the Windows file explorer, but should be compatible with all other platforms that run python.

Filefragsearch - a set of scripts to find and rewriting fragmented files in Linux. Linux file systems allocate space for files better way than file systems windose. The task of reducing the fragmentation of files in Linux is reduced to the identification of those files and rewrite them.

Application that scans files and directories for specified folders, indexes their content, and retrieves lost or corrupted fragments. Ideally used to retrieved corrupted or lost files/folders after a disk crash recovery.

filesort takes an existing text file and sorts it in ascending or descending order based on whitespace or a specified byte size.

fs-check checks filesystem sizes to see if they are getting too full. It uses a configuration file that specifies the filesystems to check, email contacts, trigger thresholds (percentage or amount used/unused), and a report program to run.

fmac is a tool for Windows 2000/XP which is able to change the MAC (Media Access Control) address of a network connection. WLAN-Tools are a collection of utilities which allow certain Windows XP SP2 WLAN configuration jobs to be done by command line.

fmstream provides an interface to read data from memory-mapped files as input/output streams. File mapping is the association of a file's contents with a portion of the virtual address space of a process. The system creates a file mapping object (also known as a section object) to maintain this association. A file view is the portion of virtual address space that a process uses to access the file's contents. File mapping allows the process to use both random input and output (I/O) and sequential I/O. It also allows the process to work efficiently with a large data file, such as a database, without having to map the whole file into memory. Multiple processes can also use memory-mapped files to share data.

Fuse Oracle FileSystem.

freede is a free defragmenter for linux filesystems. It has the ability to adapt the defragment algorithm to the current filesystem. A general move-defragger is included, and should work for all normal filesystems.

fsWeb generates and graphically displays Linux filesystem information via html such as free space, used space, and an itemized list of files, users, and each's associated usage. Requires perl, GD::Graph, Storable, and gd C libraries.

Fsdb speeds up the creation of slocate's database files by tracking which directories change and therefore performs much less work when updating the database. Updates are about 60 times faster than updatedb.

An independent perl program designed to help administrators and users to see statistics about the filesystem and "clean" redundant files.

FSMM is the "File System Monitor and Mirror". Basically, it watches for certain events on your filesystem (or on a portion of it), and calls a "Mirror Engine" that will replicate this file ASAP to some other place.

File System Tool -- detects problems on FAT and HPFS filesystems.

Update the /etc/fstab file for USB-storage devices.

gtk-2 port of fsv - 3D File System Visualizer

fuse-cache is a simple caching filesystem for Linux using FUSE. It works by copying the files you want to be cached at mount time to a cache directory, , and then using that copy for all subsequent read requests for the file.

This is a filesystem converting file name from one character set to another. It's implemented by using FUSE(Filesystem in USErspace),.
