Sorry, I didn't read about partition 0 being reserved for too-big files! My bad.
Just had same 'problem' and found my own issue here two years later, so to be clear:
In '-s' mode, a '0' numbered partition file seems to be always created, to hold files too big for the specified -s size, even if no files were too big. So if the 0 numbered folder is empty, it's all good, ignore it.
Compare to '-n' mode (i.e. that number of partitions with data split as evenly as possible between them): partition file 0 is just a regular partition file containing file names.
In other words, it seems that filenames existing in 0th partition file is only an error condition in -s mode.
I've tried fpart with 3.4GB of data and I'm getting a 0 length file for the first partition:
Is that expected?
