comment Data syncing behavior for filesystems in Windows
Have you considered that you may be approaching the problem from the wrong angle? In unix database servers that care about the data actually being on the disk use the fsync(2) and fdatasync(2) syscalls to convey this information to the kernel. There is probably something similar available in Windows for application developers.

comment How to hot mirror laptop disk onto external usb drive using kernel raid capabilities?
RAID really isn't the solution for that. I was able to write a script and trigger it from udev that would rsync the contents of my internal HDD when a certain USB HDD was connected. I'm sure something like that would work for you. It can even be made bootable. Doesn't have to be RAID to be able to do that.

In addition to Bittorrent Sync there is AeroFS, which I believe can be set up to operate completely on your own hardware.

comment Connect to cisco switch using shell script
I'm guessing you'll have a bit of a hard time trying to do this entirely using a shell script. Look into expect, maybe python+pexpect+paramiko.

comment all vhost are pointing to single localtion in openSuse 12.3
Have you restarted httpd? Does grepping for a.local under /etc/apache2 only match the vhost file or is it specifically included in some other file?

comment Slow git clone and fetch
This sounds like the server repo isn't well packed and the daemon packs it on the fly in order to conserve bandwidth, but ends up taking longer since the packing is very resource intensive. What are the CPU & memory specs on the server?

comment Is it possible to mount an AFP share on Ubuntu, and serve through Netatalk?
Is AFP the only protocol the LaCie 5Big Network support? If I were you, I'd mount it using NFS on the Ubuntu machine and re-export using netatalk.
