Subject: Disabling disk cache for single fs


Is there a way to disable the disk cache for one filesystem? I don't
want mp3s to waste all the cache that could be used better.

If there isn't a way, what would be a good way to implement it? As a
mount option?

I believe the correct way is to enhance your mp3 player(s)
with the use of madvise()
