Support for dm-integrity

[Alex-Gorny]

dm-integrity is a ZFS-like feature that can be used together with
buildkernel + LUKS + LVM + ext4
I think dm-integrity should be enabled in buildkernel by default and added to
Sakaki's EFI Install Guide

Thanks, looks interesting. I'll take a look at this next week.
Best, sakaki

Okay. Thank you. According to this manual, dm-integrity is awesome feature:
https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/wikis/DMIntegrity
It can turn ext4 into a ZFS-like filesystem.

A quote from ZFS WIkipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS
"ZFS has no tool equivalent to fsck (the standard Unix and Linux data checking and repair tool for file systems).[43] Instead, ZFS has a built-in scrub function which regularly examines all data and repairs silent corruption and other problems".

One more manual:

This is dm-crypt + dm-integrity + dm-raid (RAID1)

31 Oct 2020: sadly, due to legal obligations arising from a recent change in my 'real world' job, I must announce I am standing down as maintainer of this project with immediate effect. For the meantime, I will leave the repo up (for historical interest, and it may be of use to others); however, I plan no further updates, nor will I be accepting / actioning further pull requests or bug reports from this point. Email requests for support will also have to be politely declined, so, please treat this as an effective EOL notice.

For further details, please see my post here.

With sincere apologies, sakaki ><
