fatsort — overview
fatsort is a command-line tool designed specifically for reorganizing the file layout on FAT16 and FAT32 partitions. It addresses the problem of file fragmentation and disordered directory entries that accumulate on such partitions after prolonged read and write activity, rearranging the physical locations of files within the partition so that data is distributed more compactly and access becomes smoother. It suits users who need to maintain FAT partitions on USB flash drives, memory cards, disks in older devices, or embedded systems, especially those accustomed to the command line who want to improve partition structure without reformatting. Operation is somewhat technical in nature, but the goal is straightforward: keeping FAT partitions clean and orderly.
