Additionally, set the noatime option on all mounted
filesystems to prevent the kernel from updating the
access times of the files. I do not know if noflushd
takes care of that.
And remember that journaling file systems like ext3
by default commit their journals every five seconds.
Making that period longer defeats (some?/most?)
benefits of having a journaling FS.
