UnusedPkg is a diagnostic tool to search the
oldest unused packages in your Linux system.
UnusedPkg prints a sorted list with the size and
number of days that a package has been idle. This
helps you determine what packages can be manually
removed to clean the system. It supports any
apt-based distribution (tested on Debian and
Ubuntu) and Slackware.

DirsSync is a python tool to synchronise 2 directories. This application will synchronise all the files and all the sub-directories, and prompt the user to confirm all the moves.

makebootfat is a tool to make bootable USB disks.
It can autodetect, partition, format, and populate
the USB disk in a single step without any user
interaction. It can also create disk images which
are simultaneously compatible with all the three
USB booting standards: USB-FDD, USB-HDD, and
USB-ZIP.

stdnoj is a cross-platform C++ class library that
includes classes for using portable strings,
databases, SMTP, POP, NNTP, arrays, files,
directories, logging, email, and sockets. While
templates are used, no reliance upon STL or other
(traditionally error-prone) technologies has been
used, which increases portability between
compilers.

The Enterprise Volume Management System (EVMS) Project has the goal of providing unparalleled flexibility and extensibility in managing storage. It represents a new approach to logical volume management, as the architecture introduces a plug-in model that allows for easy expansion or customization of various levels of volume management.

Shake is a defragmenter that runs in user-space while the system is in use (for now, on GNU/Linux only), without the need to patch the kernel, and without the need to patch the kernel. Unlike xfs_fsr, it only uses functions common to all filesystems. It aims to evaluate the cost of fragmentation based on criteria such as fragment number, distance from "friends" (by default, a group of files used at the same time), file age (rewriting old files allow the filesystem to reclaim free space), file size, and number of "crumbs" (very small fragments that force the head to move repetetively). A Python module that parses the output of the verbose mode is included.

CurlFtpFS is a filesystem for accessing FTP hosts
based on FUSE and libcurl. It features SSL
support, connecting through tunneling HTTP
proxies, and automatically reconnecting if the
server times out.

FileType is a file type detection engine written
in C. It will appeal to coders looking for
functionality similar to that provided by the
'file' command. FileType is compact (less than 20K
binary), efficient, and very portable. FileType is
part of the family of software created from the
commercial Xamime email filtering project.

Zlibc allows applications to transparently access compressed files. As soon as the application attempts to open a compressed file, zlibc uncompresses the data on the fly. No kernel patch, no recompilation of the executables nor the libraries is needed.

Injector Linux is a single-floppy Linux system, which
supports many filesystems -- currently
approximately 25. Because of its wide range of
supported filesystems, it is very useful for disk
rescue operations.

iogen is an I/O generator. It forks child
processes that each run a mix of reads and writes.
The idea is to generate heavily fragmented files
to make the hardware suffer as much as possible.
This tool has been used to test filesystems,
drivers, firmware, and hardware devices. It is by
no means meant as a performance measuring tool
since it tries to recreate the worst case scenario
I/O.

eCryptfs is an POSIX-compliant enterprise-class
stacked cryptographic filesystem for Linux. It is
derived from Erez Zadok's Cryptfs, implemented
through the FiST framework for generating stacked
filesystems. It extends Cryptfs to provide
advanced key management and policy features. It
stores cryptographic metadata in the header of
each file written, so that encrypted files can be
copied between hosts; the file will be decryptable
with the proper key, and there is no need to keep
track of any additional information aside from
what is already in the encrypted file itself.
Think of it as a sort of "gnupgfs.'' It is a
native Linux filesystem, and can be built and
distributed as a stand-alone kernel module for
Linux 2.6.15 or higher.

MP3FS is a read-only FUSE filesystem that
transcodes FLAC audio files to MP3 on the fly when
opened and read. It is useful to enable the use of
your FLAC collection with software and/or hardware
that only understands MP3s. It is also a novel
alternative to traditional MP3 encoder
applications. Just use your favorite file browser
to select the files you want encoded, and copy
them somewhere.
