+          writes of the super block). The goal is to verify that the

+          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
