    oh well if you want ZFS to ignore the fsync calls... you could disable sync and rely on txg_timeout (default 5s) to write your state to disk.

    Not recommended, but this is one of the things I tried (I tuned it to 1s to be slightly safer):

    But you probably want to be very sure that your desktop applications are somewhat safe with their data/can recover from crashes...

    TIL of libeatmydata[0], if you're comfortable using that, you'd probably be comfortable disabling fsync on the datasets for those apps.
