A while back I spit out a post on how to configure an anonymous ftp server that allowed uploads and downloads, which you can find here. Its a very exciting read and will tell you everything that you need to know to get you up and running with an anonymous ftp server.

RHEL6 – Quick and Dirty NFS How To
So if you are reading this you many not be aware of the fact that I already put up a post on NFS on RHEL6 (you can find it here).

RHEL6 – Snapshotting an LVM Volume
Snapshotting in the context of LVM is the process of taking a point-in-time image of a filesystem and creating a separate copy of that filesystem on another filesystem... using LVM of course. Snapshoting can be useful if you need to take a backup of a filesystem but want the filesystem to be a quiesced state when you do so. Using LVM and snapshots you just backup the snapshot of the original filesystem.
