Yet another try for fs-verity (2019)

Should probably include &quot;[2019]&quot; in title as I thought there was some recent update.<p>The dm-verity feature was merged to the mainline kernel for the 5.4 release which was tagged on Nov 24, 2019.

This is in since Linux 5.4 already, and btrfs also added support for it. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kernel.org&#x2F;doc&#x2F;html&#x2F;latest&#x2F;filesystems&#x2F;fsverity.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kernel.org&#x2F;doc&#x2F;html&#x2F;latest&#x2F;filesystems&#x2F;fsverity....</a>

This could be a great tool to verify that none of the files in a &#x2F;nix&#x2F;store have been manipulated offline since they are read only anyways.

fs-verity - integrity by a file.<p>dm-verity - integrity by file system image.<p>Both have its uses.<p>Both are covered by IMA.
