A while ago I created patch which splitted the buffer cache into several
buffer caches, one for each device. If I recall correctly, by default the
patch limited each buffer cache to:
MAX(500 buffers, max number of buffers which we can flush in one second
to that device)
The patch is available as buffer-2.1.54.gz on:
