You could turn the hardware wb cache of your harddrive off and leave the
barriers off too..

I've been running my disks a liftime without barrier support without any
hassle, because it improves speed and interactivity a lot, but I must 
admit that my machines are all UPS secured.

 /dev/mapper/root on / type xfs (rw,noatime,logbsize=256k,logbufs=2,nobarrier)
 /dev/mapper/home on /home type xfs (rw,noatime,logbsize=256k,logbufs=2,nobarrier)
