a9ea96eafd A few corrections and clarifications to r343406.
- Use "in" instead of "on" when referring to directory and UFS partition.
- Switch from hw.physmem to hw.realmem and add a description to
distinguish the two.
- Explain why the "df" command is having trouble displaying ZFS sizes
correctly. Add a bit more descriptive text to help why the output of
"zfs list -o space" should be used.
- Switch to vmstat instead of iostat display for systat(1) as it shows
more information on one screen. Describe what is displayed based on the
text of the man page. Change the list of the other values accordingly.
- Sort the flags to "zfs destroy" alphabetically.

56d417fd5d Add ZFS usage tips to freebsd-tips.
Add a bunch of examples on how to use ZFS features like:
- listing available space,
- setting and displaying a userquota,
- displaying pool I/O statistics and pool history,
- displaying the compression ratio for a dataset,
- various list options (sorting, removing headers),
- performing a dry-run of a snapshot delete,
- removing a range of snapshots,
- setting a custom property,
- preventing removal of a snapshot with ZFS holds,
- permission sets for zfs send/receive.

Additionally, clarify the existing examples a bit when
it comes to displaying space by mentioning UFS explicitly.
Other examples include displaying I/O in top(1), querying
sysctl(8) for active CPUs and available RAM. Mention systat(1)
and its options, too.
While here, reformat the example to upload a dmesg(8) a bit
to wrap properly.

Thanks to Allan Jude for his help with some of the ZFS examples.

fd91f85934 Add a fortune describing how to upload a machine's dmesg information to the
NYCBUG database.

We want to encourage our users to upload their dmesgs so that the project can
get a better insight into what kind of hardware is run on. This helps in making
data-driven decisions about i.e., platform and driver support.

Note that dmesgs may contain sensitive information like hardware serial numbers,
hence uploading them without review is discouraged.

6ae1554a5d Final step of eliminating the "games" distribution: Merge src/games
(or what's left of it, at least) into src/usr.bin.

This change will not be MFCed.
