INTEGRITYSETUP(8) Maintenance Commands INTEGRITYSETUP(8)
NAME
integritysetup - manage dm-integrity (block level integrity)
volumes
SYNOPSIS
integritysetup <action> [<options>] <action args>
DESCRIPTION
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 an additional data integrity field per-sector. You can
use this additional field directly with integritysetup utility,
or indirectly (for authenticated encryption) through cryptsetup.
BASIC ACTIONS
Integritysetup supports these operations:
FORMAT
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, --progress-json].
OPEN
open <device> <name>
create <name> <device> (OBSOLETE syntax)
Open a mapping with <name> backed by device <device>.
If the integrity algorithm of the device is non-default, then the
algorithm should be specified with the --integrity option. This
will not be detected from the 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-recalculate-reset,--integrity-recovery-mode,
--allow-discards].
CLOSE
close <name>
remove <name> (OBSOLETE syntax)
Removes existing mapping <name>.
<options> can be [--deferred] or [--cancel-deferred]
STATUS
status <name>
Reports status for the active integrity mapping <name>.
DUMP
dump <device>
Reports parameters from on-disk stored superblock.
RESIZE
resize <name>
Resizes an active mapping <name>.
If --size (in 512-bytes sectors) or --device-size are not
specified, the size is computed from the underlying device. After
resize, the recalculating flag is set. If --wipe flag is set and
the size of the device is increased, the newly added section will
be wiped.
Increasing the size of integrity volumes is available since the
Linux kernel version 5.7, shrinking should work on older kernels
too.
<options> can be [--size, --device-size, --wipe].
OPTIONS
--allow-discards
Allow the use of discard (TRIM) requests for the device. This
option is available since the Linux kernel version 5.7.
--batch-mode, -q
Do not ask for confirmation.
--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.
--bitmap-sectors-per-bit SECTORS
Number of 512-byte sectors per bitmap bit, the value must be
power of two.
--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.
--cancel-deferred
Removes a previously configured deferred device removal in
close command.
--data-device <data_device>
Specify a separate data device that contains existing data.
The <device> then will contain calculated integrity tags and
journal for data on <data_device>.
NOTE: To not wipe the data device after initial format, also
specify --no-wipe option and activate with
--integrity-recalculate to automatically recalculate
integrity tags.
--debug
Run in debug mode with full diagnostic logs. Debug output
lines are always prefixed by #.
--deferred
Defers device removal in close command until the last user
closes it.
--help, -?
Show help text and default parameters.
--integrity, -I ALGORITHM
Use internal integrity calculation (standalone mode). The
integrity algorithm can be CRC (crc32c/crc32),
non-cryptographic hash function (xxhash64) or hash function
(sha1, sha256).
For HMAC (hmac-sha256) you have also to specify an integrity
key and its size.
--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.
--integrity-key-file FILE
The file with the integrity key.
--integrity-key-size BYTES
The size of the data integrity key. Maximum is 4096 bytes.
--integrity-no-journal, -D
Disable journal for integrity device.
--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.
--integrity-recalculate-reset
Restart recalculation from the beginning of the device. It
can be used to change the integrity checksum function. Note
it does not change the tag length. This option is available
since the Linux kernel version 5.13.
--integrity-recovery-mode. -R
Recovery mode (no journal, no tag checking).
--interleave-sectors SECTORS
The number of interleaved sectors.
--journal-commit-time MS
Commit time in milliseconds. When this time passes (and no
explicit flush operation was issued), the journal is written.
--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.
NOTE: The journal encryption options are only intended for
testing. Using journal encryption does not make sense without
encryption of the data.
--journal-crypt-key-file FILE
The file with the journal encryption key.
--journal-crypt-key-size BYTES
The size of the journal encryption key. Maximum is 4096
bytes.
--journal-integrity ALGORITHM
Integrity algorithm for journal area. See --integrity option
for detailed specification.
--journal-integrity-key-file FILE
The file with the integrity key.
--journal-integrity-key-size BYTES
The size of the journal integrity key. Maximum is 4096 bytes.
--journal-size, -j BYTES
Size of the journal.
--journal-watermark PERCENT
Journal watermark in percents. When the size of the journal
exceeds this watermark, the journal flush will be started.
--no-wipe
Do not wipe the device after format. A device that is not
initially wiped will contain invalid checksums.
--progress-frequency <seconds>
Print separate line every <seconds> with wipe progress.
--progress-json
Prints wipe progress data in json format suitable mostly for
machine processing. It prints separate line every half second
(or based on --progress-frequency value). The JSON output
looks as follows during wipe progress (except it’s compact
single line):
{
"device":"/dev/sda", // backing device or file
"device_bytes":"8192", // bytes wiped so far
"device_size":"44040192", // total bytes to wipe
"speed":"126877696", // calculated speed in bytes per second (based on progress so far)
"eta_ms":"2520012", // estimated time to finish wipe in milliseconds
"time_ms":"5561235" // total time spent wiping device in milliseconds
}
Note on numbers in JSON output: Due to JSON parsers
limitations all numbers are represented in a string format
due to need of full 64bit unsigned integers.
--sector-size, -s BYTES
Sector size (power of two: 512, 1024, 2048, 4096).
--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.
--usage
Show short option help.
--verbose, -v
Print more information on command execution.
--version, -V
Show the program version.
--wipe
Wipe the newly allocated area after resize to bigger size. If
this flag is not set, checksums will be calculated for the
data previously stored in the newly allocated area.
LEGACY COMPATIBILITY OPTIONS
WARNING:
Do not use these options until you need compatibility with
specific old kernel.
--integrity-legacy-padding
Use inefficient legacy padding.
--integrity-legacy-hmac
Use old flawed HMAC calculation (also does not protect
superblock).
--integrity-legacy-recalculate
Allow insecure recalculating of volumes with HMAC keys
(recalculation offset in superblock is not protected).
RETURN CODES
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.
NOTES
The dm-integrity target is available since Linux kernel version
4.12.
Format and activation of an integrity device always require
superuser privilege because the superblock is calculated and
handled in dm-integrity kernel target.
EXAMPLES
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>
