This driver lets you combine several hard disk partitions into one
|
||
|
logical block device. This can be used to simply append one
|
||
|
partition to another one or to combine several redundant hard disks
|
||
|
into a RAID1/4/5 device so as to provide protection against hard
|
||
|
disk failures. This is called "Software RAID" since the combining of
|
||
|
the partitions is done by the kernel. "Hardware RAID" means that the
|
||
|
combining is done by a dedicated controller; if you have such a
|
||
|
controller, you do not need to say Y here.

This sets minimum number of hash blocks to prefetch for dm-verity.

in RAM.

This device-mapper target is virtually a VERITY target. This

target is setup by reading the metadata contents piggybacked
|

|
to the actual data blocks in the block device. The signature

|
of the metadata contents are verified against the key included

in the system keyring. Upon success, the underlying verity

target is setup.

Verify data blocks only the first time they are read from the
|
||
|
data device, rather than every time. This reduces the overhead
|
||
|
of dm-verity so that it can be used on systems that are memory
|
||
|
and/or CPU constrained. However, it provides a reduced level
|
||
|
of security because only offline tampering of the data device's
|
||
|
content will be detected, not online tampering.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Hash blocks are still verified each time they are read from the
|
||
|
hash device, since verification of hash blocks is less performance
|
||
|
critical than data blocks, and a hash block will not be verified
|
||
|
any more after all the data blocks it covers have been verified anyway.
