Idle3-tools provides a utility to get, set, or disable the Idle3 timer present in many Western Digital hard drives. This timer is part of the "IntelliPark" feature that stops the disk when not in use. Unfortunately, the default timer setting is not well suited to Linux or other *nix systems, and can dramatically shorten the lifespan of the drive if left unchecked.

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.

libblockdev is a C library supporting GObject introspection for manipulation of block devices. It has a plugin-based architecture where each technology (like LVM, Btrfs, MD RAID, Swap...) is implemented in a separate plugin, possibly with multiple implementations (e.g. using LVM CLI or the new LVM D-Bus API).

ranger is a console file manager with Vi key bindings. It provides a minimalistic and nice curses interface with a view on the directory hierarchy. It ships with rifle, a file launcher that is good at automatically finding out which program to use for what file type.

This package provides a partial implementation of iSNS, specified by RFC4171. It's an maintained fork of https://github.com/cleech/open-isns.

lf (as in "list files") is a terminal file manager written in Go. It is heavily inspired by ranger with some missing and extra features. Some of the missing features are deliberately omitted since they are better handled by external tools.

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.

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.

findimagedupes compares a list of files for visual similarity.

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.

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.

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

This package provides a library for manipulating storage volume encryption keys and storing them separately from volumes to handle forgotten passphrases.

rmlint finds space waste and other broken things on your file system and offers to remove it. rmlint can find:

• duplicate files and duplicate directories,

• non-stripped binaries (i.e. binaries with debug symbols),

• broken symbolic links,

• empty files and directories,

• files with broken user and/or group ID.

This package provides a user-extensible heap manager built on top of jemalloc which enables control of memory characteristics and a partitioning of the heap between kinds of memory (for NUMA).

This package provides parted bindings for Python.

This package provides a statically-linked fsck.fat and a fsck.vfat compatibility symlink for use in an initrd.

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

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.

Sugar is extremely customizable and so sweet it will probably cause you diabetes just from looking at it. Sweeten the login experience for your users, your family and yourself

This package is a minimalist and highly customizable SDDM theme. It's only a black screen and a password input field. Nothing extra, right? Even when you enter the wrong password it will only show a red border around the screen.

This package provides a LightDM greeter implementation using GTK+, lets you select a desktop session and log in to it.

This package provides a tiny yet customizable GTK3 LightDM Greeter with focus on code and minimalism.
