Is it possible to disable file caching for a given partition or mount?

No, if you do that mmap(), read(), write() etc. would be impossible.

Or at least to limit it at a certain quantity of memory?

Not yet. I'm thinking of implementing something like this for the next version of -rmap (reclaim only from the cache if the cache occupies more than a certain fraction of ram).
