39 | Adds code that examines all block write requests (including | ||
40 | writes of the super block). The goal is to verify that the | ||

43 | in a consistent state. | ||

45 | If the integrity check tool is included and activated in | ||

47 | plenty of additional CPU cycles are spent. Enabling this | ||
