This package provides the host tools for controlling a Greaseweazle: an Open Source USB device capable of reading and writing raw data on nearly any type of floppy disk

The dosfstools package includes the mkfs.fat and fsck.fat utilities, which respectively make and check MS-DOS FAT file systems.

mmc-utils is a command-line tool for configuring and inspecting MMC storage devices from userspace.

Duperemove is a simple tool for finding duplicated extents and submitting them for deduplication. When given a list of files it will hash their contents on a block by block basis and compare those hashes to each other, finding and categorizing blocks that match each other. When given the -d option, duperemove will submit those extents for deduplication using the Linux kernel extent-same ioctl.

Duperemove can store the hashes it computes in a hash file. If given an existing hash file, duperemove will only compute hashes for those files which have changed since the last run. Thus you can run duperemove repeatedly on your data as it changes, without having to re-checksum unchanged data.

Duperemove can also take input from the fdupes program.

Sdparm reads and modifies SCSI device parameters. These devices can be SCSI disks, in which case the role of sdparm is similar to its namesake: the hdparm utility originally designed for ATA disks. However, sdparm can be used to access parameters on any device that uses a SCSI command set. Such devices include CD/DVD drives (irrespective of transport), SCSI and ATAPI tape drives, and SCSI enclosures. This utility can also send commands associated with starting and stopping the media, loading and unloading removable media and some other housekeeping functions.

GNU Parted is a package for creating and manipulating disk partition tables. It includes a library and command-line utility.

The Open iSCSI project is a high-performance, transport independent, multi-platform implementation of RFC3720 iSCSI.

Features:

• highly optimized and very small-footprint data path

• persistent configuration database

• SendTargets discovery

• provides CHAP support

• PDU header Digest

• multiple sessions

This package contains user-space utilities to create and inspect bcache partitions. It's rather minimal as bcache is designed to work well without configuration on any system.

Linux's bcache lets one or more fast block devices, such as flash-based SSDs, to act as a cache for one or more slower (and inexpensive) devices, such as hard disk drives or redundant storage arrays. In fact, bcache intends to be a superior alternative to battery-backed RAID controllers.

Bcache is designed around the performance characteristics of SSDs and tries to minimize write inflation. It's file-system agnostic and does both write-through and write-back caching.

F3 (Fight Flash Fraud or Fight Fake Flash) tests the full capacity of a flash card (flash drive, flash disk, pendrive). F3 writes to the card and then checks if can read it. It will assure you haven't been sold a card with a smaller capacity than stated.

hdparm is a command-line utility to control ATA controllers and disk drives. It can increase performance and/or reliability by careful tuning of hardware settings like power and acoustic management, DMA modes, and caching. It can also display detailed device information, or be used as a simple performance benchmarking tool.

hdparm provides a command line interface to various Linux kernel interfaces provided by the SATA/ATA/SAS libata subsystem, and the older IDE driver subsystem. Many external USB drive enclosures with SCSI-ATA Command Translation (SAT) are also supported.

This package provides a utility library for managing the libnvdimm (non-volatile memory device) sub-system in the Linux kernel.

This package provides parted bindings for Python.

fff (fast file-manager) is a simple, blazing fast and minimal file manager for Linux, written in bash. It only requires bash and coreutils, and its highly optimized now for efficient performance.

hddtemp is a small utility that gives you the temperature of your hard drive by reading S.M.A.R.T. information (for drives that support this feature).

Duc maintains a database of accumulated sizes of directories of the file system, and allows you to query this database with some tools, or create fancy graphs showing you where your bytes are.

Duc comes with console utilities, ncurses and X11 user interfaces and a CGI wrapper for disk usage querying and visualisation.

This package provides parted bindings for Python.

findimagedupes compares a list of files for visual similarity.

All-singing, all-dancing, fully colourised df clone written in Python. It displays the amount of disk space available on the mounted file systems, using different colours for different types of file systems. Output format is completely customizable.

This package provides a simple theme for SDDM, black background with Guix's logo. Based on Arch linux's archlinux-simplyblack theme.

This package provide a minimal but highly configurable single-user GTK3 greeter for LightDM, this greeter is inspired by the SLiM Display Manager and LightDM GTK3 Greeter.

This package provides a minimalistic dark theme for SDDM, black background with abstract shapes. Inspired by solarized-sddm-theme.

Chili reduces all the clutter and leaves you with a clean, easy to use, login interface with a modern yet classy touch.

SDDM is a display manager for X11 and Wayland aiming to be fast, simple and beautiful. SDDM is themeable and puts no restrictions on the user interface design. It uses QtQuick which gives the designer the ability to create smooth, animated user interfaces.

SLiM is a Desktop-independent graphical login manager for X11, derived from Login.app. It aims to be light and simple, although completely configurable through themes and an option file; is suitable for machines on which remote login functionalities are not needed.

Features included: PNG and XFT support for alpha transparency and antialiased fonts, External themes support, Configurable runtime options: X server -- login / shutdown / reboot commands, Single (GDM-like) or double (XDM-like) input control, Can load predefined user at startup, Configurable welcome / shutdown messages, Random theme selection.
