Adds code that examines all block write requests (including
|
||||
writes of the super block). The goal is to verify that the
|
||||
state of the filesystem on disk is always consistent, i.e.,
|
||||
after a power-loss or kernel panic event the filesystem is
|
||||
in a consistent state.
|

|

If the integrity check tool is included and activated in
|
||||
the mount options, plenty of kernel memory is used, and
|
||||
plenty of additional CPU cycles are spent. Enabling this
|
||||
functionality is not intended for normal use.

In most cases, unless you are a btrfs developer who needs
