Completely disabling fsflush_do_pages() appears to work, by patching the kernel
variable "dopageflush" to a value of 0. See line 440 in fsflush.c:
http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/usr/src/uts/common/fs/fsflush.c#440
Problem is, when you've unpacked all of the mozilla sources and run the "sync"
command, all of the modified memory pages for mozilla source files are
scheduled to
be written to disk at once. So, is someone runs "sync" it could create an even
bigger
request queue for the disk 8-)
