If the block device supports DAX and the filesystem supports DAX, then you can avoid using the pagecache to buffer I/Os. Turning on this option will compile in support for DAX; you will need to mount the filesystem using the -o dax option.

If you've selected TMPFS, it's possible that you'll also need this option as there are a number of Linux distros that require POSIX ACL support under /dev for certain features to work properly.
