Force no more than one write/sync to disk in X seconds


I'm worried that I see through the disk LED and iotop quite some write activity every couple of seconds, mostly coming from the chromium's processes, on a completely idle system.

It doesn't make any sense at all to have such a high number of writes to disk, even less with SSD disks. The reads isn't a problem for me, also because I have plenty of disk cache on my 20gb RAM notebook.

The commit option (which is by default 30s) obviously isn't the solution. Tried to increase or even decrease and still see one write every couple of seconds.

So is there a way to force not more than one write per arbitrary interval?
