QDirStat is a graphical application to show where your disk space has gone and to help you to clean it up.

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

XFE (X File Explorer) is a file manager for X. It is based on the popular but discontinued, X Win Commander. It aims to be the file manager of choice for all light thinking Unix addicts!

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.

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.

GParted is a GNOME partition editor for creating, reorganizing, and deleting disk partitions. It uses libparted from the parted project to detect and manipulate partition tables. Optional file system tools permit managing file systems not included in libparted.

This software supports RAID device discovery, RAID set activation, creation, removal, rebuild and display of properties for ATARAID/DDF1 metadata.

dmraid uses libdevmapper and the device-mapper kernel runtime to create devices with respective mappings for the ATARAID sets discovered.

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.

GPT fdisk (aka gdisk) is a text-mode partitioning tool that works on Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) Partition Table (GPT) disks, rather than on the older Master Boot Record (MBR) partition scheme.

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

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.

udevil is a command line program that mounts and unmounts removable devices without a password, shows device info, and monitors device changes. It can also mount ISO files, NFS, SMB, FTP, SSH and WebDAV URLs, and tmpfs/ramfs filesystems.

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

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

Wipe can erase files and block devices securely. To work properly it relies on several assumptions like having the block device write the correct sectors, etc. For files it also doesn't work on log-structured file systems such as F2FS, JFFS, LogFS, etc. You should not trust wipe to work as advertised until you have manually verified that all its assumption hold true on your system. To overwrite data it uses the Mersenne Twister pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) that is seeded with /dev/urandom or, if unavailable, /dev/random.

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.

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

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.

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

This package provides parted bindings for Python.

TestDisk is primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms were caused by faulty software or human error (such as accidentally deleting a partition table). TestDisk can:

1. Fix partition table, recover deleted partition

2. Recover FAT32 boot sector from its backup

3. Rebuild FAT12/FAT16/FAT32 boot sector

4. Fix FAT tables

5. Rebuild NTFS boot sector

6. Recover NTFS boot sector from its backup

7. Fix MFT using MFT mirror

8. Locate ext2/ext3/ext4 Backup SuperBlock

9. Un-delete files from FAT, exFAT, NTFS and ext2 file systems

10. Copy files from deleted FAT, exFAT, NTFS and ext2/ext3/ext4 partitions.

This package also includes the photorec command, described below.

PhotoRec is file data recovery software designed to recover lost files including video, documents and archives from hard disks, CD-ROMs, and lost pictures (thus the Photo Recovery name) from digital camera memory. PhotoRec ignores the file system and goes after the underlying data, so it will still work even if your media's file system has been severely damaged or reformatted. It can recover lost files from at least:

1. FAT

2. NTFS

3. exFAT

4. ext2/ext3/ext4 file system

5. HFS+

This package provides a tool to resize FAT partitions using libparted.

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).
