Nothing ext4 specific IIRC. There are some kernel optimization you can do, like this, but consider some of that to be a placebo:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;unix.stackexchange.com&#x2F;questions&#x2F;30286&#x2F;can-i-configure-my-linux-system-for-more-aggressive-file-system-caching" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;unix.stackexchange.com&#x2F;questions&#x2F;30286&#x2F;can-i-configu...</a><p>Other than that, maybe consider an alternative filesystem like f2fs or xfs depending on the medium.
