    Supported APC UPS

    I'm not a big fan of APC, although their UPSs are better since they acquired MGE. Personally I use an Eaton UPS with sysutils/nut.

    disk partition layout advise

    I also suggest ditching the separate /tmp filesystem in favour of a tmpfs mount.

    Why nanoBSD has disappeared from the system?

    It should be in /usr/src/tools/tools/nanobsd.

    using top with local and ldap users accounts

    Probably. Write a patch for it, or file a PR in the hope of someone else fixing it. Either way, file a PR. :)

    xfce - not wake again

    Laptop suspension doesn't work on all hardware. It's probably safe to say it only works on some hardware. It certainly doesn't work on my Dell. I recall reading of good experiences from HP owners...

    5.5-STABLE to 6-STABLE (at least)

    Even then, the OP really needs to move onto 8.x at least. More and more port compilations will break on very old FreeBSD releases, and he won't get much help from port maintainers either.

    I think Python is not a secure language.

    I'm not sure it helps that much. The tabs vs. spaces friction continues...

    How to ban a block of IPs with 'route add'

    Actually most routers have a blackholing feature which can be used to drop traffic based on its destination address, including FreeBSD: route add -net 192.168.0.0/24 -blackhole

    I just wished her daemonware were in red... and the ad were in English. :P

    suggestion on which filesystem for usb storage

    Ext2. There are Windows drivers for it that have worked flawlessly for me, and FreeBSD's support is good. (I've only tried ext2 on Windows XP)

    Motd and ssh last login

    You will need to modify the source of login for that. Or you can create ~/.hushlogin to suppress all its messages, and then implement what you want in your shell's startup file instead.

    ZFS performance

    leostat, why are you using a hardware raid controller? You really should try rebuild your pool with directly attached disks (aka JBOD) and gnop. ZFS using 'advanced format drives' with FreeBSD

    My ZFS V28 benchmarks

    You created your pool using gnop? Does your ashift show a value of 12? zdb |grep ashift The dedup results were surprising, and worrying. Anyone else think this is normal?

    How much FreeBSD is there in your world?

    I use FreeBSD everywhere except on small (cheap) virtual machines. Debian (APT) binary package management is just better on systems with few hardware resources IMHO. Most of my paid work is either Linux or Windows oriented. Personally I have 2 workstations, 4 servers, and a router that all...

    ZFS performance

    It would be helpful to devs and other users if everyone who is reporting slower-than-UFS ZFS could explain their hardware and zpool setup. And is everyone building their pools with 4k sectors taken into consideration? I doubt there are many large, consumer SATA disks on the market now that...
