The project started when I was working for a renowned center for biomedical research after a discussion with a friend of mine. We wanted to implement a fast bin-packing tool to produce filesystem tree partitions with the same size and number of files. The tool quickly evolved and got support for hooks that can be triggered when a partition is generated.

At that time, we needed to move petabyte-scale filesystems to freshly-acquired storage arrays. With its new hooking system, fpart seemed to be a good basement to launch small migration jobs in parallel through our SSH cluster. Initial tests ([see our article in French](https://connect.ed-diamond.com/GNU-Linux-Magazine/glmf-164/parallelisez-vos-transferts-de-fichiers)) were successful but we were still depending on our on-site scheduler to orchestrate submitted jobs and it was to be retired sooner or later. We needed a new scheduler.

That's where [fpsync](https://www.fpart.org/fpsync/) comes into play : the tool wraps fpart and embeds its own scheduler to trigger small rsync jobs to parallelize data migration *by itself*. It can leverage your SSH cluster to get the best from your data servers, acting as a powerful, standalone, data migration tool.

Of course, as an ardent open source supporter, those tools were released with an open source license (BSD 2-Clause "Simplified" License). They were quickly adopted by large companies (Intel, AWS, Microsoft, Alibaba, Oracle, ...) as well as research centers to migrate petabyte-scale filesystems.
