INTEGRITYSETUP(8)           Maintenance Commands           INTEGRITYSETUP(8)

NAME top

       integritysetup - manage dm-integrity (block level integrity) volumes

SYNOPSIS top

       integritysetup <options> <action> <action args>

DESCRIPTION top

       Integritysetup is used to configure dm-integrity managed device-
       mapper mappings.

       Device-mapper integrity target provides read-write transparent
       integrity checking of block devices. The dm-integrity target emulates
       additional data integrity field per-sector. You can use this
       additional field directly with integritysetup utility, or indirectly
       (for authenticated encryption) through cryptsetup.

       Integritysetup supports these operations:

       format <device>

              Formats <device> (calculates space and dm-integrity superblock
              and wipes the device).

              <options> can be [--data-device, --batch-mode, --no-wipe,
              --journal-size, --interleave-sectors, --tag-size, --integrity,
              --integrity-key-size, --integrity-key-file, --sector-size,
              --progress-frequency]

       open <device> <name>
       create <name> <device> (OBSOLETE syntax)

              Open a mapping with <name> backed by device <device>.

              <options> can be [--data-device, --batch-mode,
              --journal-watermark, --journal-commit-time, --buffer-sectors,
              --integrity, --integrity-key-size, --integrity-key-file,
              --integrity-no-journal, --integrity-recalculate,
              --integrity-recovery-mode, --allow-discards]

       close <name>

              Removes existing mapping <name>.

              For backward compatibility, there is remove command alias for
              the close command.

       status <name>

              Reports status for the active integrity mapping <name>.

       dump <device>

              Reports parameters from on-disk stored superblock.

OPTIONS top

       --verbose, -v
              Print more information on command execution.

       --debug
              Run in debug mode with full diagnostic logs. Debug output
              lines are always prefixed by '#'.

       --version
              Show the program version.

       --batch-mode
              Do not ask for confirmation.

       --progress-frequency <seconds>
              Print separate line every <seconds> with wipe progress.

       --no-wipe
              Do not wipe the device after format. A device that is not
              initially wiped will contain invalid checksums.

       --journal-size, -j BYTES
              Size of the journal.

       --interleave-sectors SECTORS
              The number of interleaved sectors.

       --integrity-recalculate
              Automatically recalculate integrity tags in kernel on
              activation.  The device can be used during automatic integrity
              recalculation but becomes fully integrity protected only after
              the background operation is finished.  This option is
              available since the Linux kernel version 4.19.

       --journal-watermark PERCENT
              Journal watermark in percents. When the size of the journal
              exceeds this watermark, the journal flush will be started.

       --journal-commit-time MS
              Commit time in milliseconds. When this time passes (and no
              explicit flush operation was issued), the journal is written.

       --tag-size, -t BYTES
              Size of the integrity tag per-sector (here the integrity
              function will store authentication tag).

              NOTE: The size can be smaller that output size of the hash
              function, in that case only part of the hash will be stored.

       --data-device
              Specify a separate data device that contains existing data.
              The <device> then will contain calculated integrity tags and
              journal for this data device.

       --sector-size, -s BYTES
              Sector size (power of two: 512, 1024, 2048, 4096).

       --buffer-sectors SECTORS
              The number of sectors in one buffer.

              The tag area is accessed using buffers, the large buffer size
              means that the I/O size will be larger, but there could be
              less I/Os issued.

       --integrity, -I ALGORITHM
              Use internal integrity calculation (standalone mode).  The
              integrity algorithm can be CRC (crc32c/crc32) or hash function
              (sha1, sha256).

              For HMAC (hmac-sha256) you have also to specify an integrity
              key and its size.

       --integrity-key-size BYTES
              The size of the data integrity key.

       --integrity-key-file FILE
              The file with the integrity key.

       --integrity-no-journal, -D
              Disable journal for integrity device.

       --integrity-bitmap-mode. -B
              Use alternate bitmap mode (available since Linux kernel 5.2)
              where dm-integrity uses bitmap instead of a journal. If a bit
              in the bitmap is 1, the corresponding region's data and
              integrity tags are not synchronized - if the machine crashes,
              the unsynchronized regions will be recalculated.  The bitmap
              mode is faster than the journal mode, because we don't have to
              write the data twice, but it is also less reliable, because if
              data corruption happens when the machine crashes, it may not
              be detected.

       --bitmap-sectors-per-bit SECTORS
              Number of 512-byte sectors per bitmap bit, the value must be
              power of two.

       --bitmap-flush-time MS
              Bitmap flush time in milliseconds.

       WARNING:
              In case of a crash, it is possible that the data and integrity
              tag doesn't match if the journal is disabled.

       --integrity-recovery-mode. -R
              Recovery mode (no journal, no tag checking).

       NOTE: The following options are intended for testing purposes only.
              Using journal encryption does not make sense without
              encryption the data, these options are internally used in
              authenticated disk encryption with cryptsetup(8).

       --journal-integrity ALGORITHM
              Integrity algorithm for journal area.  See --integrity option
              for detailed specification.

       --journal-integrity-key-size BYTES
              The size of the journal integrity key.

       --journal-integrity-key-file FILE
              The file with the integrity key.

       --journal-crypt ALGORITHM
              Encryption algorithm for journal data area.  You can use a
              block cipher here such as cbc-aes or a stream cipher, for
              example, chacha20 or ctr-aes.

       --journal-crypt-key-size BYTES
              The size of the journal encryption key.

       --journal-crypt-key-file FILE
              The file with the journal encryption key.

       --allow-discards
              Allow the use of discard (TRIM) requests for the device.  This
              option is available since the Linux kernel version 5.7.

       The dm-integrity target is available since Linux kernel version 4.12.

       NOTE:  Format and activation of an integrity device always require
              superuser privilege because the superblock is calculated and
              handled in dm-integrity kernel target.

RETURN CODES top

       Integritysetup returns 0 on success and a non-zero value on error.

       Error codes are:
           1 wrong parameters
           2 no permission
           3 out of memory
           4 wrong device specified
           5 device already exists, or device is busy.

EXAMPLES top

       Format the device with default standalone mode (CRC32C):

       integritysetup format <device>

       Open the device with default parameters:

       integritysetup open <device> test

       Format the device in standalone mode for use with HMAC(SHA256):

       integritysetup format <device> --tag-size 32 --integrity hmac-sha256
       --integrity-key-file <keyfile> --integrity-key-size <key_bytes>

       Open (activate) the device with HMAC(SHA256) and HMAC key in file:

       integritysetup open <device> test --integrity hmac-sha256
       --integrity-key-file <keyfile> --integrity-key-size <key_bytes>

       Dump dm-integrity superblock information:

       integritysetup dump <device>
