To copy the data, fpsync uses either rsync (default), [cpio](https://linux.die.net/man/1/cpio), or tar tools. It computes subsets of the source directory `src_dir/` and spawns synchronization jobs to synchronize them to the destination directory `dst_dir/`. It executes synchronization jobs on-the-fly while simultaneously crawling the file system, making it a useful tool for efficiently migrating large file systems and copying large datasets with multiple files.

> Fpsync only synchronizes directory contents, not the source directory itself. Unlike rsync, fpsync enforces the final '/' on the source directory, which means that you won't get a subdirectory with the name of the source directory in the target directory after synchronization.

To use fpsync, you'll need to install the fpart filesystem partitioner. Install fpart on the Linux distribution of your choice. Once it's installed, you should see fpsync under `/usr/bin/`.
