Re: disable fsync on spesific application

May I suggest improving airflow in HDD bays instead?

Why would you want to do that? Any data "written" by applications will sooner or later be actually written to disk by the kernel even if applications don't call fsync.

If it's sqlite doing the fsync'ing, then see compilation option.
