A Python API to interface with ZFS pools and filesystems via libzfs, providing directly to Python the kinds of things that the /usr/sbin/zfs and /usr/sbin/zpool tools do from the command line.

VECT provides a framework for managing software releases. It is an abstraction layer on top of Depot primarily and is based on Carnegie Mellon U's "EMT"

Highly customizable directory listing.

Exposes Windows WNetAddConnection2, WNetUseConnection and WNetCancelConnection as a python class. Helpful for mounting and dismounting WebDAV drives programmatically.

XtreemOS project aims at building a Linux-based operating system to support virtual organizations for next generation Grids.

Canburn is simple program for testing directory structure in order to burning it to CD-ROM. It can be used to check files before burning them to CD.

compactpath is a python package to handle compacting of filepaths. compacting of filepaths may be useful in gui programming where filepaths of arbitrary lenght have to be displayed in widgets with limited visual space.

daddyQ, written in Python, monitors and logs disk usage on file servers, and take actions on excessive disk usage. Users that are often over their quota or are over the quota with excessive disk usage get their files deleted.

diskover is a file system crawler and disk space usage software that uses Elasticsearch to index your file metadata. diskover crawls and indexes your files on a local computer or remote storage server over network mounts. diskover helps manage your storage by identifying old and unused files and give better insights into data change "hotfiles", file duplication "dupes" and wasted space. It is designed to help deal with managing large amounts of data growth and provide detailed storage analytics. See GitHub for requirements and instructions on installing.

This software is a distributed replicated blob server (inspired by the google file system paper http://www.cs.rochester.edu/sosp2003/papers/p125-ghemawat.pdf ). It stores your blobs ( <=> files) on a given number of your servers.

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

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.

A tool for windows users, to determine the type of a file based on its content rather than it suffix.

Mounts your Dropbox account as a filesystem

tag-based semantic file system, in python, over FUSE. pluggable aspects (parsing or interpretting). querying and relations between tags/items. modular architecture, allows different user-ends (fs/webdav/http/..), or backends (sql/rdf/..)

gnetmount is a GUI program (gtk) for mounting network file systems and, optionally, any other type of file system listed in fstab. It allows non-root users to easily mount or umount file systems, such as smbfs or cifs, that require authentication.

A sysadmin tool that maps a sector (for example a bad sector) to a filename (so you know which file got trashed). It relies on and integrates a variety of other tools such as blkid, lvm, and debugfs to chase the sector number through the layers of partitions, logical volumes, and filesystems that are part of a modern system.

EaseFilter File System Filter Driver Framework is a set of file system filter driver software development kit which includes file monitor filter driver, file access control filter driver, transparent file encryption filter driver, process filter driver and registry filter driver. The File Security Solution with the EaseFilter Comprehensive File Security SDK encompasses file security, digital rights management, encryption, file monitoring, file auditing, file tracking, data loss prevention, process monitoring and protection, and system configuration protection. EaseFilter file system filter driver is a kernel-mode component that runs as part of the Windows executive above the file system. The EaseFilter file system filter driver can intercept requests targeted at a file system or another file system filter driver. By intercepting the request before it reaches its intended target, the filter driver can extend or replace functionality provided by the original target of the request.

Tool to use from Python interactive interpreter or script. Use it to make JSON indexes of all files in a directory, or files of a certain type. Could be used to observe activity in a server directory, to generate JSON to send to clients searching remotely, or to keep an index of files in a directory when the user of that directory does not have permission to probe the files system for files without knowing their names. Uses a configuration file, or optionally you can pass configuration information as keyword arguments. Also see recursive example.

A fuse filesystem implementation to a MAID system. Multiple Array of Inespensive Disk Use case: a user have many usb sticks, disks and other filesystem to merge in a single filesystem to get the data and move it

pyDirStat is a small tool to view statistical information about a directory. It will generate a view of all files contained in a directory (and subdirectories) with rectangles. Each rectangle area is proportional to file size. It's a perfect tool to qu

pyquota is a Python wrapper module for manipulating disk quotas.

readsmb is an open source extentsion module for Python. It's writen by C and published under the GPLv2. Using readsmb, you can browse or read contents on a SAMBA/CIFS server.
