Well for dd anyway you can bypass the cache all together. Adding oflag=direct should do it.
Ok, so that flag and a reasonable bs to compensate. What about "dsync"? Or "nocache"? Maybe I'll try them to time the results later.
Or a many file copy to a usb device, using, say, mc.
Or instead of limiting the cache per application, do so per device. If the usb is on /dev/sdh, limit the cache on /dev/sdh.
Is this possible at all?
No idea on your other questions.
