    <title>Description</title>

    <para>The <filename>/etc/integritytab</filename> file describes
    integrity protected block devices that are set up during
    system boot.</para>

    <para>Empty lines and lines starting with the <literal>#</literal>
    character are ignored. Each of the remaining lines describes one
    verity integrity protected block device. Fields are delimited by
    white space.</para>

    <para>Each line is in the form<programlisting><replaceable>volume-name</replaceable> <replaceable>block-device</replaceable>
    <replaceable>[keyfile|-]</replaceable> <replaceable>[options|-]</replaceable></programlisting>
    The first two fields are mandatory, the remaining two are optional and only required if user specified non-default options during integrity format.</para>

    <para>The first field contains the name of the resulting integrity volume; its block device is set up
    below <filename>/dev/mapper/</filename>.</para>

    <para>The second field contains a path to the underlying block device, or a specification of a block device via
    <literal>UUID=</literal> followed by the UUID,
    <literal>PARTUUID=</literal> followed by the partition UUID,
    <literal>LABEL=</literal> followed by the label,
    <literal>PARTLABEL=</literal> followed by the partition label.
    </para>

    <para>The third field if present contains an absolute filename path to a key file or a <literal>-</literal>
    to specify none.  When the filename is present, the "integrity-algorithm" defaults to <literal>hmac-sha256</literal>
    with the key length derived from the number of bytes in the key file.  At this time the only supported integrity algorithm
    when using key file is hmac-sha256.  The maximum size of the key file is 4096 bytes.
    </para>

     <para>The fourth field, if present, is a comma-delimited list of options or a <literal>-</literal> to specify none. The following options are
    recognized:</para>
      <variablelist>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><option>allow-discards</option></term>

        <listitem><para>
        Allow the use of discard (TRIM) requests for the device.
        This option is available since the Linux kernel version 5.7.
        </para></listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><option>journal-watermark=[0..100]%</option></term>

        <listitem><para>
        Journal watermark in percent. When the journal percentage exceeds this watermark, the journal flush will be started.  Setting a value of
        "0%" uses default value.
        </para></listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><option>journal-commit-time=[0..N]</option></term>

        <listitem><para>
        Commit time in milliseconds. When this time passes (and no explicit flush operation was issued), the journal is written.  Setting a value of
        zero uses default value.
        </para></listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><option>data-device=/dev/disk/by-...</option></term>

        <listitem><para>
        Specify a separate block device that contains existing data. The second field specified in the
        integritytab for block device then will contain calculated integrity tags and journal for data-device,
        but not the end user data.
        </para></listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><option>integrity-algorithm=[crc32c|crc32|sha1|sha256|hmac-sha256]</option></term>

        <listitem><para>
        The algorithm used for integrity checking.  The default is crc32c. Must match option used during format.
        </para></listitem>
      </varlistentry>
    </variablelist>

    <para>At early boot and when the system manager configuration is
    reloaded, this file is translated into native systemd units by
