Hi all,
Over the years, I've accumulated a massive amount of personal data—books, photos, documents, old DOS programs/games, various files from old systems, and a lot of source code (I was a developer for a long time). While I started with Dos/Windows, I've been using Linux for over 20 years, and for the last ~15 years, it's been my primary desktop environment.
All of this data currently resides on a single ZFS partition, totaling around 8TB. There are probably a lot of duplicates (especially of photos, some old music etc.), and I'm looking for a way to organize everything effectively. I fully understand that I can't automate the entire process because many files and directories can't just be "sorted" by type. I'll need to set up specific folders for work documents, and other categories.
What I'm looking for is software that can help me transition from an unstructured drive to a fully organized system. Given the size (8TB), this isn't a task for "one day," so I need software that can keep track of what has already been organized and what remains to be done.
I hope someone here understands what I'm looking for and can suggest a solution.
